Social Media and Design Consultant

Background:

Amna envisions a world where refugees have the power to shape their own futures, unbounded by the impact of trauma, conflict and displacement. We are a refugee-led organization working to expand mental health support and community-led psychosocial services for refugees and other displaced people, giving them the tools to heal, rebuild resilience, and rediscover joy and belonging.

Our approach is simple and evidence-based, developed in partnership with refugees and psychosocial experts. We work globally to fund, train, and empower frontline organizations and humanitarian to deliver trauma and identity-informed care to those affected by displacement. By fostering safe spaces for healing, we aim to break the cycle of intergenerational trauma and create lasting change.

Since 2016, Amna has directly supported over 25,000 refugees, funded 50 organizations, and trained 380 partners across 13 countries. Our programs have indirectly impacted the lives of over 2.4 million displaced people, helping them find strength and hope in the face of adversity.
