Experience

Habitat for Humanity - Internship

May - July 2022

Habitat for Humanity is an NGO that is dedicated to improving housing, water and sanitation, and disaster risk reduction. I had the good fortune to spend three months working with Habitat for Humanity as an Intern. During my stay there, I discovered how housing is related to public health and how providing adequate and proper housing facilities for people can help improve their overall health. One of the programmes I participated in was designed to support widows financially. And help send their children to school.

District Health Management Team - Bombali (Internship)

July - September 2021

I gained my first practical experience interacting with healthcare professionals and the public while serving on the District Health Management Team, Bombali. I interned in the surveillance section, which was responsible for tracking the prevalence of reported diseases in PHUs, CHCs, and hospitals and sending weekly reports of this information to the Ministry of Health in the country's capital, Freetown. As an intern, it was my responsibility to work closely with the surveillance officer to gather this data and perform supportive supervision in each of the district's health facilities.
