The opportunity to join such a dedicated and impactful team is one of the main reasons I am drawn to this position.
Having worked in the non-profit sector for the past five years, I have gained a strong understanding of the complexities and challenges involved in fundraising and donor relations. In my current role as a Donor Relations Manager at a local NGO, I have successfully managed a portfolio of major donors, securing over $500,000 in funding for various projects.

I am confident that my experience in project management, coupled with my strong attention to detail and organizational skills, will enable me to effectively manage the donor portfolio and contribute to the overall success of the team.
Furthermore, I have a deep understanding of the mine action sector and the challenges faced by affected communities. During my time at the NGO, I had the opportunity to work closely with local communities in Ukraine, witnessing firsthand the devastating impact of landmines. This experience has fueled my passion for humanitarian work and my determination to make a positive difference in the lives of those affected by landmines. I am eager to bring this passion and knowledge to b and contribute to the important work being done by the Ministry of Economy’s Mine Action Office Team.
