Muniira Abdirahman Abdilahi

I am a social work professional with three years of field experience supporting child protection and community welfare programs at the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs. I specialize in case documentation, community outreach, and structured field research with vulnerable populations in Somaliland. My expertise lies in navigating sensitive safeguarding challenges, building trust with underserved families, and collecting accurate socioeconomic data to drive evidence-based support. I am now seeking to leverage my community engagement and case management skills to advance high-impact welfare interventions within a global humanitarian context.
