Over the past nine years, I have coordinated the creation of over 50 child-friendly spaces, harnessing the power of architecture in fostering community empowerment and resilience. Our team's work is marked by collaboration with international NGOs, donors, and technical partners, delivering impactful built interventions in diverse contexts.By actively involving communities in the design and construction phases, we ensure that the outcomes are not only functional but also culturally sensitive and community-owned.
