鈥溎竟嫌霸 has offered me extraordinary opportunities to thrive.鈥濃
We must strive to have diversity鈥痺ith鈥痠nclusion, to create opportunities at all levels for everyone.鈥疘鈥檓 a single mom, an African woman, a policy wonk -- and much more! I have three kids and have lived and worked in countries all over the world. I bring a unique mix of skills, perspectives, and passions to my work. 木瓜影院 has offered me extraordinary opportunities to thrive.
鈥淚 work to ensure that laws, policy regulations and operational rules provide equal access for all.鈥
Over the years, I鈥檝e learned that people want many of the same things, a safe place to call home, and a way to provide for their families. In many countries, laws and regulations may not be sufficiently inclusive, people are left out, and many are forced to live on the fringes of society. Having an inclusive mindset is a must when working in international development.
鈥淲e use the most advanced technology to support our mission...鈥
木瓜影院 is famous for its work in international development, but you might not think of the World Bank for a career in IT. There are many people like me who support the mission of the World Bank in a non-Operations function.

Tiago Peixoto, Senior Governance Specialist, Brazilian National"Seeing the happiness of the people...I knew it was all worth it"
When I was working in Mozambique, there were many internally displaced people, and they had no identification documents (ID). They had no rights. It took a while, and it was hard work, but I helped them get access to IDs. Seeing the happiness of the people when they finally received their own ID -- seeing some of them clutch their new IDs to their chests -- I knew it was all worth it.

Houda Karafli, Young Professional Program, Moroccan national"To see the impact we have on people鈥檚 everyday lives was both a humbling moment and a proud one."
I work in public policy. I remember meeting a beneficiary who was impacted by one of the policies I worked on. To see the impact we have on people鈥檚 everyday lives was both a humbling moment and a proud one. The Bank has a great responsibility to see that our support protects the most vulnerable people I鈥檓 grateful to be a part of that work.

Tanya Sisler, Staff Association Counselor, American National鈥...we have flexible work policies so we can adapt our work schedules to fit our lives...鈥
Single parents have unique challenges in that all the responsibilities of raising our children are on us. Some of our single parents live in a different country, far away from families and friends. There鈥檚 no one else to take the kids to school, to doctor鈥檚 appointments, to get food on the table, to help with their homework, and so on. Traditional 9-to-5 work schedules can be very stressful for single parents. But at the World Bank, we have flexible work policies so we can adapt our work schedules to fit our lives, not the other way around.
