The History Behind C.T.M.

As you may know, environmental refugees are people who must leave their homes due to the problems provoked by climate change. With this being said, our website aims to help these refugees gain economic opportunity and better sanitation with the international growth of technology. In 2020, the organization of CTM was founded. It is currently made up of six members. Founded in Chicago, Illinois, we are strongly committed to fullfulling our promise with the latest technology. According to Associated Press, 30,000 refugees were welcomed in the United States in 2018. Unfortunately, admissions have decreased. Hopefully, when we use technology to code,hack, or simply research, we may also provide awareness to fleeing refugees and increase the numbers of admission. To learn more, take a look at some viewpoints of refugees around the world.

Our Stories

I left home with the dream of living the rest of my life in Europe. I wanted to aid the rest of my brothers after I found a job there. During my infancy, my mother died and our father abandoned us. I felt like the only other option was to leave everything from Ghana and risk it in Europe. Long story short, we did not make it to Europe. I was rescued from the detention center and returned to Ghana with assistance from CTM, including a small grant that helped me start a business transporting yams to the market. Ultimately, if it were not for CTM, I probably would not be pursuing a path in business today.
