Ethiopia and UNHCR launch digital ID system for refugees

Ethiopia and UNHCR launch digital ID system for refugees

Ethiopia, in partnership with the UN refugee agency, is issuing digital IDs to refugees. The system, called Fayda, allows holders to move freely, access education, and seek employment. The initiative is reportedly giving hope to thousands of long-term refugees, including those who fled Al-Shabaab in the Somali region.

Such a blessing for families. This freedom to move and work means parents can finally provide for their children properly. Our duas are with all the refugees.

Wonderful news! I really hope this program includes language and vocational training alongside the IDs, so people can truly make use of that right to work. Building skills is so important.

Praying this system's data is kept safe and secure. Refugees have already been through so much; their information must be protected. Insha'Allah it's managed well.
