What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role where I can deliver community-focused programs, advocate for vulnerable groups, and grow in program management within a collaborative NGO or social services team.

I am a dedicated Social Work graduate with practical experience in community outreach, advocacy, resource mobilization, and program facilitation. I have led awareness campaigns on drug and substance abuse, child marriage, teenage pregnancy, and delivered SRHR education in schools while supporting vulnerable groups including physically impaired minors.

I am highly organized, reliable, and skilled in stakeholder engagement, record keeping, and basic Microsoft Office applications. I seek to apply my field experience and commitment to social welfare to contribute meaningfully to community development and service delivery.
