Growth through community development
Mernah Tamer sees helping people as more than simply a calling; it is her purpose, and she carries it out with ease.
Mernah Tamer, a third-year law student at the University of Namibia (Unam), is 24 years old. She is an arbitrator and has a diploma in conflict resolution.
At the moment, Tamer is the executive director of the Weni Kavango Project, a non-governmental organisation (NGO). Its main goal is to empower Kavango locals through the prism of education and everyday life.
Her genuine passion for wanting to help communities develop stands out, as her experience has taught her a great deal about the importance of positively contributing to a community.
“I have developed better communication skills and the ability to work with different audiences and engage and negotiate to find mutually acceptable solutions,” said Tamer.
She enjoys expanding her mind in numerous areas of literature and life in general. She has become an expert in human rights issues, speaks several languages, and has cultivated an understanding of other cultures.
She has long been actively interested in charity projects and intends to keep doing so in the future.
She enjoys writing and sketching when she is not occupied with academics and other extracurricular activities, and she enjoys playing tennis for the Unam Tennis Club, one of her favourite sports.
The change you can see
Tamer explains that because she is a logistician, she focuses on distribution and transportation at Shape Skills. To ensure a seamless process, she makes sure that production quotas are reached, discovers potential distributors and suppliers, evaluates their efficiency and accessibility, and makes sure that products are delivered to the right locations.
Tamer has always lived by the saying "be the change you want to see in the world," as corny as it may seem.
She emphasised that by being a part of Shape Skills, she can discover fresh methods to support communities. She works with a team of enthusiastic individuals that are driven to produce the greatest outcomes.
"I waited three years to join the Windhoek Global Shapers Hub, but something always came up, and then Covid-19 took over the entire world, so I had to wait for a while to be a part of such a great organisation, and being a member of Shape Skills, specifically, is incredible as I get to work with driven young people."
Her advice is to embrace the good and the bad that comes with this world, but to make sure you are drawn to the good of it all.
