A self-driven and proactive humanitarian aid worker with 6 years of experience in the program development cycle and a proven track record of managing complex humanitarian emergencies across diverse national and international contexts. I am deeply committed to fostering peacebuilding and equal opportunities for marginalized communities to lead dignified lives and exercise their rights. Working directly with Afghan refugees and as a member of UNHCR Protection Working Group, I have led numerous successful projects that addressed their critical needs such as dignified livelihoods, legal pathways/resettlement, psychosocial support, sexual and reproductive health rights (SRHR). I spearheaded the development of robust referral systems to connect refugees with vital resources/organizations, tackling issues related to secure housing, property rights, child labor, Gender-based violence (GBV), legal status, and official documentation for asylum seekers and refugees. As a native Pashto speaker, the language of many Afghan refugees, I have gained a nuanced understanding of their challenges, allowing me to better assist them. My expertise encompasses fundraising and advocating for Afghan Refugees on national and international forums, including strategic networking with diverse stakeholders/donors from the Asia Pacific, Sweden, the United Kingdom, the USA, Japan, and New Zealand. I am adept at managing the entire project lifecycle, from needs assessments, grants writing, proposal development, and budgeting, to resource mobilization, implementation, and robust monitoring evaluation. I excel at strategic leadership, mobilizing teams and stakeholders to achieve impactful results. I have led and delivered successful projects, providing support to Afghan Refugees, in collaboration with renowned organizations like UNOCHA, UNHCR, UMCOR, CAFOD, CWS-New Zealand, and ACT-Church of Sweden. I foster community engagement through effective communication, transparency, and adherence to CHS and SPHERE standards, ensuring that interventions are timely, context-sensitive, and culturally appropriate.
