My name is Hasan Shaaban, from Syria. I hold a degree in Civil Engineering. Due to the difficult economic situation in , I have faced many challenges, the first of which was the lack of opportunities to start my own business.

When I got the chance to learn something new through the SINA organization, I researched it and discovered that it supports marginalized youth in society. SINA offers ideas and tools that help people create their own businesses and start income-generating projects.

I joined the Jangu International School, which is part of the SINA organization, in an effort to learn and bring back knowledge and ideas to my community. My goal is to help as many young men and women as possible to start their own businesses and become self-reliant.

My name is Homam Al Hassan, and I’m from Syria. I began studying engineering, but because of the economic crisis and conflict, I had to stop my education. Opportunities became fewer each year, and I eventually had to leave my country to look for a future elsewhere.

That journey brought me to SINA in Uganda, and from the beginning, it was something different. It’s not a normal school, it’s a place where we learn by taking responsibility and turning our ideas into reality. I joined the replication journey just recently, so I’m still learning what it really means to be a replicator. Every day brings new insights, about leadership, teamwork, and creating something that belongs to the community.

My dream is to return to and start a SINA there. Many young people in my country feel lost, just as I once did. I want to help create a space where they can find purpose, take ownership of their lives, and build something that lasts, not just for themselves, but for their communities.

SINA has already changed how I see myself and my future. Even though I’m still at the beginning of this journey, I feel I’m part of something important, a process that brings real change, from the inside out.

Our Story

The Social Innovation Academy (SINA) elicits youth’ untapped potentials to drive lasting change and pursue purpose in the world through social entrepreneurship. Its holistic empowerment model lets scholars discover their calling in life and create a positive impact on the environment and the society. Youths are in charge of themselves, living in self-organized and freesponsible communities. Skills and experiences are gained through taking over responsibilities, leading the community through self-management. Scholars become changemakers applying learning directly to turn challenges into solutions and leave with their own jobs established. Transcending their backgrounds as refugees, orphans, street children or other marginalized backgrounds, their own personal tragedies often become the driving force for the creation of social enterprises tackling the root causes of their own personal tragedies.
