TESTIMONIAL

Trusted From My Colleagues

“Farah conducted a Context Analysis in Jordan and Lebanon for IGNITE, a project for which the International Rescue Committee acts as consortium lead. Farah worked diligently to collect extensive data and provide actionable analysis so that the consortium not only better understand the challenges adolescent girls and local feminist organizations face, but also opportunities IGNITE can support to shift social norms that hinder girls' access to quality education.Given her strong work ethic and professionalism, we would work with Farah again.”
