Coalition building for impact people, tech & humanitarian futures in Afghanistan and beyond
Description
How can technology support dignified, community-led humanitarian action?
Continuing a thematic exploration of humanitarian tech, Ka Man Parkinson speaks with Layma Murtaza and Safi Noorzai from Aseel – a social enterprise reimagining how aid can work through digital innovation, local leadership and global connection.
This is a conversation about systems change from the ground up: the power of coalitions, the urgency of new funding models, and why centring people – not just products or platforms – is essential to meaningful impact.
💬 “I think dignified aid would change a lot – so fully owned and driven by the communities we serve.” – Safi Noorzai
💬 “So if you’re actually dreaming of change… make sure you stay human and continue to build with love, because the world really needs your voice and vision…” – Layma Murtaza
Tune in to hear real-world insights and hands-on inspiration for community-centred solutions, digital innovations, and evolving humanitarian approaches in Afghanistan and beyond.
