@evansthuranira
Project management professional driving community health and capacity-building impact.
What I'm looking for
I am a professionally qualified Project Management practitioner with extensive experience coordinating and implementing community-focused programs, particularly in health, education, and youth empowerment. I blend practical project planning with strong stakeholder engagement to deliver measurable results.
I have led teams, managed large cohorts of beneficiaries, and overseen field operations—most recently coordinating cancer awareness and early-detection programs and managing 33 coaches across Nairobi schools supporting over 600 students.
My strengths include project monitoring and reporting, resource mobilization, training and facilitation, and community development. I am also proficient with MS Office and keep pace with IT and digital trends, having completed training in AI and digital entrepreneurship.
I pursue work that advances social equity, builds local capacity, and produces clear outcomes; I bring a collaborative leadership style, a background in youth and community programming, and a track record of designing training materials and project reports that support program sustainability.
