Shelley Lasker
@shelleylasker
Experienced project administrator and NGO consultant focused on child welfare.
What I'm looking for
I am a seasoned project administrator and NGO consultant with decades of experience coordinating food distribution, educational programmes, and community outreach across Southern Africa. I combine practical logistics management with strong donor reporting and monitoring & evaluation skills to deliver measurable impact for vulnerable children.
As a director and managing director, I led logistics for large-scale food aid, managed budgets, wrote proposals, and maintained stakeholder relationships with schools, clinics, funders, and government partners. My background in education and facilitation informs a compassionate, community-centered approach to program design and implementation.
I am reliable, organized, and skilled in data collection and reporting (Excel, Word, PowerPoint), fundraising, and advocacy. I bring hands-on experience working in informal settlements and rural contexts, with a commitment to evidence-driven, empathetic service delivery.
