Eden is the Founder and CEO of Invicta, an organisation that helps refugees and internally displaced persons (IDPs) enter the job market.
Invicta has secured employment for over 3,400 refugees and IDPs and enrolled 9,000 in its education and career development services, including certificate-based courses. The organisation also works to connect these communities with trauma-informed mental healthcare.
At the Belfast Summit, Eden’s Partner, the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs, provided her a leadership and public speaking coach that helped her refine her impact. She remains in contact with her cohort of delegates, who continue to share opportunities, help her review grant applications, and invite her to collaborate on their projects.
Invicta recently launched a pilot business incubation programme in refugee camps. The first pilot, in Kenya’s Kakuma Refugee Camp, supported 40 female refugees. A second pilot will take place this year in Jordan’s Zaatari Refugee Camp. Moving forward, Eden plans to expand Invicta’s platforms into additional languages.
