Personal projects

Translation and Interpretation Project

I provided professional and accurate translation to client in legal Refugee cases of resettlement.
I am culturally sensitive during my work and I deliver accurate and complete work.

Language Teaching Project

I created a flexible program for teaching aged women and men Swahili and English language.
This was done in person and for free.
I designed a teaching Curriculum that was both engaging and easy to understanding.
Most students improved their language.

Homemade Sanitary Pads Project

I made a project of sewing sanitary pads for women and girls.
these pads were distributed in Dzaleka Refugee Camp where a lot of girls do not have proper menstrual hygiene due to lack of sanitary pads.
I made them using soft kitenge material and a piece of small cotton in the middle.
these pads really helped a lot of girls because they were reusable.
