What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role where I can leverage my skills in child protection and community coordination, ideally in a dynamic humanitarian environment that values integrity and impact.

As a dedicated social worker with over three years of field experience, I have honed my skills in case management, child protection, and community coordination. My work with organizations such as CIAUD-CANADA, JAAD, and ANDDFE has allowed me to make a significant impact in humanitarian zones, addressing the needs of vulnerable children and families.

At CIAUD-CANADA, I managed over 100 cases of children facing vulnerabilities due to conflict and violence. I co-organized 15 community awareness campaigns on children's rights and effectively referred more than 60 cases through the inter-agency protection system. My commitment to supporting local authorities in implementing alternatives to detention showcases my dedication to creating sustainable solutions for at-risk populations.

My academic background includes a Master’s in Human Rights, Peace, and Humanitarian Action, which complements my practical experience. I am fluent in French and have a good command of English, along with local languages, enabling me to communicate effectively in diverse settings. I am eager to contribute my skills and passion for humanitarian work to make a meaningful difference.
