As an Advocacy Officer at Family for Every Child, I am dedicated to coordinating and managing impactful advocacy programs across diverse thematic portfolios. I focus on child protection, family care, justice and equality, mental health, education, and emergency aid, touching the lives of children around the world. In this role, I work closely with civil society organizations across 38 countries, forging strategic partnerships to promote and protect the rights of children globally. By actively engaging with these diverse stakeholders, I amplify children's voices and advocate for their fundamental rights. My mission is to contribute to a world where every child grows up in a permanent, safe, and caring family. With my strong coordination, management, and collaboration skills, I make a tangible impact on children's lives and champion their rights on a global scale. Show less

Jan 2022 - May 2023
Project leader for UNHCR-funded humanitarian response in Libya. Responsible for planning, monitoring and evaluation of the project activities. Worked closely with finance and administration team to ensure that all financial targets were met and that project funds were spent on the appropriate activities in accordance with approved budgets. Organized progress-monitoring meetings in which key stakeholders were brought together on an ad hoc basis to discuss implementation progress. I've created a toolkit that can be used in any emergency situation where children need to be protected, supported, and cared for. It was created for peace and protection, but it also has humanitarian value. Show less

Through liaison with community stakeholders, I was able to resurrect play therapy for Muslim girls in two schools with closed centers, as well as ensure special needs children participated in psychosocial sessions.

This study was conducted in Kenya and focused on the links between gender and networks, particularly informal networks, and health services markets. The goal of this project was to better understand what factors influence a community's decision-making processes when it comes to selecting health facilities for their health needs. The findings will help guide efforts to ensure equitable access to quality healthcare for all Kenyans.
