Jennifer manages Lafiya’s financial reporting, budgeting, and payment processes in line with organisational standards, ensuring accountability, transparency, and efficiency across program delivery. She also oversees compliance systems that strengthen adherence to donor and regulatory requirements.
With a strong background in finance and accounting, Jennifer has extensive experience optimising financial operations using platforms such as Xero, QuickBooks, and Dext.

She believes that behind every payment processed lies a woman or child whose life is being transformed through improved access to essential services and opportunities for a better future.
