Dursa Mama Kadu

Board Member

I am a 30 years old Ethiopian based in Malta and one of the co-founders and president of Spark15 Organisation. Spark15 is a refugee and migrant-led organisation based in Malta that was founded by youth groups striving for equal treatment of refugee and migrant youth in Maltese society. For the past 10 years I have been working with migrant and refugee communities, different Human Right activists and in-directly with the United Nation. Knowing from first hand experiences that being a refugee doesn't define what a person is capable of contributing to a society I am committed to keep learning every day to amplify the voice of those that need to be heard.

Adel AlBaghdadi

Vice President

Born & raised in Damascus–Syria. "Impact Maker", that's what I boldly call myself; because I make the daily conscious decision to be a part of the solution and not the problem. I am a firm believer in possibilities. I believe in a better future, and I'm determined to create it.

 

Omid Hotak

Board Member

I am a dedicated advocate for youth empowerment and social inclusion, with a strong background in politics and international relations, having graduated from Durham University. As the Founder and President of Network and Learning Opportunities (NLO), I have led initiatives that provide vocational, educational, and career-focused opportunities for youth worldwide, particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds. Social integration schemes, language programs, and engagement projects have been spearheaded to foster inclusion and encourage active participation in society. Work has also been undertaken in collaboration with the Council of Europe to advance political participation and amplify the voices of underrepresented youth facing migrant challenges. I hope to bring a unique combination of leadership, strategic vision, and hands-on experience to the Voicify board, aiming to further amplify youth representation on a global scale.
