Founder of the O-Space Innovation Hub in Yei, South Sudan, Jaiksana was forced to move to the Rhino Camp refugee settlement, Uganda due to armed conflicts in 2016. There he founded Platform Africa, a community-based organisation engaged in reaching young refugees through the power of media, education and technology to foster equitable, informed and resilient societies.

As a lead #defyhatenow correspondent, Jaiksana has been running workshops on social media literacy, trauma and hate speech mitigation. He's also an open hardware skills trainer, having helped develop #ASKotec – a hands-on technical resource and repair kit for community trainers, created for mobile field-use where there is limited access to power and internet connectivity.
