Charity Wawira

I am an Education Program Management Specialist and Humanitarian Project Manager based in Kenya. My professional path has been shaped by a passion for making a tangible impact, especially within the realm of humanitarian work and community development. Although trained as a teacher, I redirected my career towards working with vulnerable communities and children.

What drew me to this industry was a deep-seated desire to utilize my skills in a way that resonated with my values—advocating for child protection, championing for inclusion irrespective of limitations, and empowering women.

Program Leader with over 10 years of experience in the management, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of donor-funded programs. Experienced in the integration and strengthening of systems, partnerships, and the implementation of collaborative projects. Proven capacity in coordinating projects related to resilience and livelihood, education, inclusivity and community empowerment while leveraging stakeholder engagements.

Passionate about policy development and implementation of activities toward inclusion, protectionism and community development. As a collaborative team leader, effective at building and fostering relations with diverse external stakeholders, team management and cross-cultural experience, I am seeking a new opportunity to add value in any team, project or organization I am a part of.
