What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead child protection and inclusion programs, apply M&E skills, work with communities and partners, and advance reintegration for vulnerable children.

I am a dedicated social worker with 3+ years of hands-on experience in child protection, case management, program coordination, and community mobilization across Kenya. I have led disability advocacy and inclusive care initiatives, coordinated residential child welfare services, and supported M&E efforts for international donors, delivering measurable improvements in child outcomes.

I combine practical psychosocial support and home-tracing with strong monitoring, evaluation, and reporting skills (SPSS, STATA, ODK, Kobo, CommCare) to strengthen accountability and service delivery. I am passionate about faith-informed approaches to support high-risk orphans and vulnerable children and consistently engage stakeholders to drive sustainable reintegration and inclusion.
