Yazan Ibrahim, from the Palestine Red Crescent Society, represents a team of three individuals, along with Anwar Aaljamals (Palestine Red Crescent Society) and Arnau Rovira (Spanish Red Cross).
The team’s hard work and dedication to finding a solution that has had a real impact on the lives of people with disabilities are truly inspiring.
Their innovative approach and determination to help others are a testament to the positive impact that technology can have on society.
Congratulations to the winning team and to all the top tech entrepreneurs and teams who also had a chance to present their initiatives in Kigali.
