Coming together in Kakuma Refugee Camp - with Basetsana Kumalo

Season 8 Episode 1

Welcome to Season 8 of the iamtheCODE Podcast. Thank you for supporting us.

Our theme this season is: Who is Fixing the World?

Is there any sentence that sums up your life? Do you know people who are fixing the world and coming together to make a difference?

Our brilliant Host speaks with ⁠⁠Basetsana Kumalo⁠⁠, patron of iamtheCODE, who travelled with her to meet the Kakuma Girls for the first time in history. Basetsana was shocked and in tears to see what was happening in this Refugee Camp. Lady Mariéme has dedicated her life to making the world a better place for the Kakuma Girls; hence she invited her dear friend to visit the camp with her.

During the trip, both women met extraordinary young girls and women with ideas, empathy, kindness, passion and determination to improve their and other people’s lives. Basetsana is a businesswoman and philanthropist. After the trip, she shared lessons and gave some advice to help us all express our deepest gratitude for what we have and can do for our fellow human beings.

We are a small Team dedicated to making the world better by creating inspiring content for people who want to do better and be better.
