Bio
Sahar Dada
Arwa expertly filled the role of Finance and Admin Officer at Faraja Cancer Support Trust for over 5 years. She quickly became a mentor to me and properly guided me through how best I can do my internship there and how to grow while at the organization. She always knew how to lighten up hard moments through her laughter. Any employee would be lucky to have Arwa as a colleague, friend and mentor.

It gives me great pleasure to write this recommendation for Arwa Kapacee. Arwa and I worked together for five years at Faraja Cancer Support Trust where she was the Finance and Administration Manager, a position she held for eight years. I thoroughly enjoyed my time working with Arwa and came to know her as a truly valuable asset to our team. She is honest, dependable, and incredibly hard-working. Beyond that, she is an impressive communicator who can relate well with people especially the most vulnerable. For this reason, she was also in charge of booking appointments with patients and managing therapists at our wellness centre in Nairobi, Kenya. Her accounting knowledge and expertise in Excel and QuickBooks helped us manage our auditing, spreadsheets and donor information. She is also quite ingenious with ideas on how to make the office space pleasurable for everyone and still maintain professionalism and a good work ethic. Along with her undeniable talent, she has always been an absolute joy to work with. She is a true team player, and always manages to foster positive discussions and bring the best out of our staff and volunteers. Without a doubt, I confidently recommend Arwa to any employer. As a dedicated and knowledgeable employee and an all-around great person, I know that she will be a beneficial addition to any organization.
