Here’s what our team say about working for Sherpa Kids

My journey with Sherpa Kids began in 2022 as a Programme Coordinator, where I delighted in the daily experience of playing and connecting with children. This role allowed me to experience first-hand the profound impact we have on young lives and families within our communities. Since then, I've advanced to the GPR Excellence Team at our Head Office, where I now focus on creating innovative programmes that enhance our services and provide support across the company. I am truly passionate about our work and incredibly grateful to Sherpa Kids for the opportunity to contribute to such a meaningful mission. It’s a privilege to be part of the Sherpa family and work alongside such incredible people!
