Inspiring Young STEM Leaders in Libya

HOW CHANGEMAKERS HAVE HELPED INSPIRE YOUTH IN LIBYA TO BECOME SCIENCE & TECH LEADERS

Lybotics is on a mission to inspire young people to be science and technology leaders and innovators, and developing education to help communities of Libya shine. They engage kids in exciting mentor-based program that build science, engineering and technology skills, that inspire innovation, and that foster well-rounded life capabilities including self-confidence, communication, and leadership 🇱🇾

HOW WE MAKE CHANGE

Lybotics were looking for volunteers to help them with Marketing, Web Development, Writing, Videography and Fundraising skills in order to address their main Sustainable Development Goal of Quality Education (SDG 4).

We connected them with skilled ChangeMakers. Here’s how they helped 🙌

“THE OPPORTUNITY HAS PROVIDED ME WITH THE CHANCE TO APPLY MY EXPERIENCE AND KNOWLEDGE TO BRING A POSITIVE CHANGE IN PEOPLES LIVES AND BRING PROSPERITY TO LIBYA”

Ali Budabous 🇱🇾

‘My name is Ali and I am from Libya. I am a PR and advertising graduate who take pride in creating and managing advertising campaigns and creating workable strategies, which increase brand reputation and income generation. Even though this is my profession I am also an active humanitarian person who likes to operate in the front lines in the field, during unfortunate events, to facilitate and provide humanitarian aid to vulnerable people who have been affected by war or other disasters.

At Lybotics, I have volunteered as a PR expert where I used my knowledge in the Libyan market. I also conducted research to for Lybotics to find potential participants for future events and tournaments.

Being part of the Lybotics team has provided me with the opportunity to work and make friends with amazing people. The opportunity has provided me with the chance to apply my experience and knowledge to bring a positive change in peoples lives and bring prosperity to Libya.’

“I THINK THAT AS AN ORGANISATION WE ARE MAKING A HUGE IMPACT IN THE COUNTRY AND IN OTHER REGIONS”

Deivy Castellano 🇪🇨

‘My name is Deivy Castellano and I am from Ecuador. I’m currently studying a bachelor degree in business at IUBH. I’m a currently student from IUBH. I’m a lead team manager at Lybotics and a social media creator and ambassador of Earth Love United Foundation, Impala Global, The500MBA club in India, YELD, and as illustrator for the virtual magazine named: Katabasis.

At Lybotics, I have been dedicated my time to planning strategies, such as Women Empowerment Days, and creating posts about the organisation to catch attention from the public. I’ve also been planning new strategies and ideas that contribute to the marketing of Lybotics, like online events.

I personally found all the work that I’m dedicating in Lybotics as well invested time. When I received some messages from girls thanking me for helping them achieve their goals, I just feel good because I think that as organisation we are making huge progress and impact in the country and in other regions.’

RESULT

“It is beyond expectations. Once we started I thought we will be getting a few volunteers handling social media, but ended up with very skilled volunteers who made a big difference in our social movement.”
