  • We’ve been working with Kifah as a business development and design thinking trainer for seven years now. According to our youth, field officers, and local partners, Kifah is one of our very best. He is very professional and knows how to engage youth participants effectively, particularly via online trainings. His sessions are always very interactive and energizing. Beyond training our youth, we have counted on Kifah to support us in curriculum design, TOTs, and the creation of online activities, given his strong understanding of training/learning methodologies as well as his innovative mindset. It has been a real pleasure working with you, Kifah!
