Hi there, I'm Ben.
I want to build a world in which people flee to safety, not more vulnerability.
So far, I've:
- Started a microgreens farm to address malnutrition in Zervou Refugee Camp.
- Led a team building emergency shelters in Moria Refugee Camp.
- Served as an infantry officer.
- Designed programs to protect smallholder farmers from climate shocks.
- Attempted to publish a card game (unsuccessful! But ongoing).
If you're reading this, feel free to reach out to share ideas, or just to say hi!
Live questions
- "How do we ensure no refugee suffers from malnutrition in a new and unfamiliar environment?"
- "How can we help humanitarian organisations coordinate to best serve people in difficult situations?"
- "Do our commitments give life meaning? Do we make 'bets' in service of these?"
- "Where does the notion of maximisation (profit, happiness) come from?"
Former questions
- "How could blended crop insurance be accessible to agricultural workers in Southeast Asia?"
- "How do we keep the roof of these tents from sinking?"
- "How do we get out of this jungle?"
- "How do we keep rats off the rice farms?"
- "Why are my sunflower seeds always mouldy?"
- "What are refugee skilling programs in East Africa missing?"
Say hello
