I, Ayiko Muhammed Ali, the Executive Director of Peace For All Canada (PFAC), am committed to supporting women, youth and children to access the quality of education and social-economic justice. I am fluent in Arabic and have an undergraduate degree in Global Studies and a graduate degree in Human Security and Peacebuilding, which will also allow me to better assist the individuals we are supporting.

​

I’ve spent the last 14 years of my life dedicated to transforming my childhood war trauma into a voice for the voiceless women, youth and children around the world. My portfolio of supporting women, youth and children involves the design and development of new projects and programs and working with key stakeholders. These experiences have assisted me in developing skills in empowering local women, youth and children and initiating innovative, grassroots, social-economic and conflict transformation projects, and these outcomes are listed below:

​

• Coordinated civilian protection and humanitarian service delivery for over 20 international organizations and provided recommendation reports on various conditions related to insecurities;

• Dedicated to working effectively and efficiently in complex, insecure, humanitarian conditions, and harsh living conditions;

• Technical skills in designing, programming and coordinating protection and social justice programs;

• Experience in mobilizing volunteers as a founder and manager for a non-profit organization by building collaborative relationships to confront root causes and drivers that strip children from their childhood;

• Advocate in starting dialogues in post-conflict situations that were supported by the Canadian Department of Foreigner Affairs and International Trade (DFAID) with funding worth $350,000 and further dollars in annual fundraising efforts;

• An investigative approach to seek out funding sources and draft funding applications;

• I researched and analyzed current policies and shared this with team members and partners. I investigated funding sources, designed, developed and coordinated projects, and wrote funding applications. These are skills that will be a positive addition for PFAC
