Mame Yacine Diop / Head of Partnerships & Fundrasing
With a master’s degree in business administration, Mame Yacine has been working for more than 10 years in the NGO environment for organizations such as Oxfam, Millennium Promise Alliance and Norwegian Refugee Council. She has extensive experience in fundraising and project management and financial management. She enjoys spending her free time reading, watching movies, cooking and traveling.
With a strong passion for social justice and advocate for women’s rights, she chooses to volunteer for organizations promoting human rights specifically women’s rights. By joining JDWS, I recognize myself in the mission and values by fighting gender-based violence and conducting actions to empower women and promote their rights in a complex and difficult Sahel region. My engagement translates also by a personal experience of the story of my mother, a survivor of child marriage, married at 11 years and feeling trapped by traditions and social norms. Having nieces, my vision is for them to grow and express themselves freely without any constraints.
Personally, my success story at JDWS, is seeing the journey of our young volunteers bringing their passion, conviction and engagement."
