Season 3, Episode 70,   Nov 14, 08:00 AM

In this episode of Tech Can’t Save Us, Paul and Maya speak to Sara Berkai, founder and CEO of Ambessa Play, about creating educational tools for displaced and refugee children.

This week on Tech Can’t Save Us, hosts Paul David and Maya Dharampal-Hornby are joined by Sara Berkai, founder and CEO of Ambessa Play. Ambessa Play is a social enterprise that designs educational toy kits and tools for children, with a focus on supporting displaced and refugee children. 

The conversation centres around the importance of co-designing products with users - specifically, the importance  of understanding the context of displaced children in product design.  


Sara also shares insights on Ambessa’s marketing strategy (which she hadn’t spent a dime on until recently!), the impact of her academic background, and the state of edtech.
