Who We Are

Ellen volunteered with WHOM during her studies at the University of Sussex, bringing both academic grounding in international development and a hands-on commitment to women's health in humanitarian settings. During her time in Athens, she led two impactful projects: collaborating with local pharmacies to develop a multilingual resource on emergency contraception and the contraceptive pill, making vital information accessible to women across language barriers; and helping to establish a network of referral pathways to connect women with diagnostic testing and secondary healthcare services. Both projects continue to benefit the women WHOM serves. We are deeply grateful for Ellen's contribution and the lasting difference her work has made on the ground.

Raphaëlle holds a Master's degree in Public Health with a focus on the social determinants of health and equitable access to care. Drawn to WHOM by a shared commitment to women's health and humanitarian values, she contributed across a wide range of activities during her time with us. Raphaëlle strengthened WHOM's social media presence, helping us reach more women in need of services and grow our community of supporters. She researched the cost and availability of sanitary products in Greece, providing valuable insight into the everyday financial barriers facing the women we serve. She also supported us directly in clinic, contributing to patient outreach and referral coordination. Raphaëlle hopes to build a career working directly with people in health or social care settings, and we have no doubt she will make a significant impact wherever she goes. We are grateful to have had her as part of the WHOM family.
