What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to empower youth and contribute to community development.

I am a self-driven and committed individual with a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology from the National University of Lesotho. My passion for community service has led me to work as a Youth Mentor at Karabo Ea Bophelo DREAMS, where I have successfully enrolled young girls in educational programs and raised awareness about critical issues such as HIV and Gender-Based Violence. My experience includes collaborating with organizations like LENEPHWA to track beneficiaries and ensure they receive essential services.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated proficiency in digital data collection tools, such as LOODIS, and have effectively captured and synchronized data for organizational reporting. My ability to build strong relationships with the youth I mentor has been pivotal in creating safe spaces for open discussions and support. I take pride in my problem-solving skills and my capacity to think critically about leveraging technology for better reporting and data management.
