What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to leverage my grant management and community engagement skills while contributing to sustainable development initiatives.

I am a results-driven professional with extensive experience in grant management, stakeholder engagement, and community project management. My career has been marked by a proven track record of securing funding and ensuring compliance with donor requirements, particularly through my work with various UN agencies. I am passionate about creating sustainable impact and fostering strategic partnerships that align with national development goals.

Currently, I serve as a Stakeholder Manager at Wilderness Botswana, where I manage grant-funded community projects worth over 4 million BWP. My role involves leading fundraising initiatives, overseeing project budgeting, and developing monitoring frameworks to track project outcomes. Previously, I coordinated programs for Children in the Wilderness, successfully managing a US Embassy-funded Science Camp for Girls and implementing robust monitoring and evaluation systems.

With a strong foundation in financial management and a commitment to sustainable development, I am dedicated to driving impactful community engagement and capacity building. I thrive in collaborative environments where I can leverage my skills to create meaningful change.
