¡°¶¹ÄÌÊÓƵAPP has offered me extraordinary opportunities to thrive.¡±?
We must strive to have diversity?with?inclusion, to create opportunities at all levels for everyone.?I¡¯m a single mom, an African woman, a policy wonk -- and much more! I have three kids and have lived and worked in countries all over the world. I bring a unique mix of skills, perspectives, and passions to my work. ¶¹ÄÌÊÓƵAPP has offered me extraordinary opportunities to thrive.
¡°I work to ensure that laws, policy regulations and operational rules provide equal access for all.¡±
Over the years, I¡¯ve learned that people want many of the same things, a safe place to call home, and a way to provide for their families. In many countries, laws and regulations may not be sufficiently inclusive, people are left out, and many are forced to live on the fringes of society. Having an inclusive mindset is a must when working in international development.
¡°We use the most advanced technology to support our mission...¡±
¶¹ÄÌÊÓƵAPP is famous for its work in international development, but you might not think of the World ¶¹ÄÌÊÓƵAPP for a career in IT. There are many people like me who support the mission of the World ¶¹ÄÌÊÓƵAPP in a non-Operations function.
¡°My World ¶¹ÄÌÊÓƵAPP colleagues were very welcoming; they helped me with everything...¡±
We had been hearing rumors of the Taliban for a while and suddenly on one afternoon in August 2021, we were told to go home. None of the girls were allowed outside for months. When we did start going outside, girls had to be covered head to toe. We couldn¡¯t go to places where we used to go. There were Taliban guards with guns everywhere. Then I came to Washington, DC for the World ¶¹ÄÌÊÓƵAPP¡¯s Junior Professional Associate program. I¡¯d never been anywhere outside of Afghanistan before this. My colleagues helped me with everything from issuing a visa to showing me around and connecting me with other associates.
