Mona faisal artan

I am a social work professional with a Bachelor’s in Development Studies and Social Work, currently specializing in humanitarian operations through a Master’s in Project Management and Planning. Over two years in Somaliland, I have led community outreach and beneficiary advocacy initiatives, with a core focus on youth empowerment and child protection. I apply practical training in gender equality frameworks to drive sustainable community outcomes and ensure high-quality service delivery for vulnerable populations. I am now seeking to leverage my organizational and field experience to support large-scale humanitarian programs and development projects.
