Message

At Manyoni District Council, I mobilized communities to participate in development activities, including participatory planning, community projects, and economic empowerment initiatives for women and youth. I also collected community development statistics and supported planning and budgeting.

At the Institute of Rural Development Planning, I assist with planning and budgeting, project data collection, and strategic plan implementation. My work has also included coordinating productive social safety net programs and community development projects in water, sanitation, and environmental health.
