Lihi Luzon-Beranen was born in Israel and grew up in the U.S. and in Brazil. She has a B.A. in Sustainability and Economics from the IDC Herzeliya, Israel. During the internship component of the Glocal program, Lihi interned with Kuchinate - an arts-based economic and psychosocial collective for African asylum-seeking women. Here, she helped digitalize the organization's data and created a system to support purchasing, inventory tracking, accounting, and sales processes. She learned that the NGO world is often in survival mode, and thus has difficulties in planning its long-term goals. One can often find the key solution for the different problems that come up within the community, as they hold a diversity of skills, human wealth, and useful knowledge. Kuchinate women are strong and dynamic, with a stronghold on their faith to guide them through these rough times of the COVID-19 crisis.
