What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a role where I can strengthen MEAL, commodity management, data quality, safeguarding, and field operations for humanitarian or development programs.

At Save the Children International, I coordinate MEAL and commodity operations for the USDA-funded PALAM/A II school meal program in Badulla District, supporting 216 schools, 330 School Meal Providers, and more than 18,914 students.

I maintain district databases, update IPTT, QB and feedback trackers, analyze data, support evaluations, and track project progress. I also verify commodity receipts and documentation, monitor storage and FIFO compliance, validate stock movements and reports, and coordinate timely food distribution with warehouse, transport, field, and program teams.

My background also includes field coordination for environmental justice projects, warehouse stockkeeping at Singer Sri Lanka, and research data collection for a USAID-funded rainwater harvesting project. I bring GIS, GPS, Kobo Collect, Power BI, safeguarding, reporting, and field training experience to complex community and humanitarian operations.
