What I'm looking for

I seek a role that allows me to further develop my skills in community engagement and social advocacy, contributing to meaningful projects that enhance the lives of individuals and families.

I am a passionate social worker with a strong commitment to helping individuals and communities overcome social, economic, and emotional challenges. My experience includes working with an international NGO in Kenya, where I focused on improving the well-being of individuals through direct support, advocacy, and the development of social programs. My role involved coordinating community work missions and assisting in office management, which honed my organizational and leadership skills.

In my volunteer work with Compassion Kenya, I engaged with community members to foster a supportive environment and conducted home visits to ensure the well-being of society members. I actively participated in the selection process for new project entries and conducted investigations to assess risks faced by beneficiaries and caregivers. My dedication to community development is further supported by my educational background in community and social work, equipping me with the necessary skills to make a meaningful impact.
