My day-to-day functions range from project planning and implementation, community and stakeholder engagement to administrative duties.
Working for the community is exciting and rewarding at the same time. The impact of lives changed through people transitioning from informal, unskilled, insecure work to becoming skilled, self-employed, allows for empowerment, families being supported and overall community development.
