What I'm looking for

I'm a recent graduate seeking hands-on experience in a professional setting, where I can learn and contribute to team success.

At Development Aid From People to People, I delivered life skills and sexual and reproductive health education to adolescent girls and young women. I also supported local development initiatives and provided psychosocial support and referrals for vulnerable children and families.

At Mandipa Hope Rehabilitation Centre, I assisted with psychosocial support, counseling, case management, and community outreach. Through my Child Empowerment Program, I supported vulnerable children’s school attendance and psychosocial well-being with mentorship, counseling, and access to essential services.
