Enhancing the lives of those who are seldom heard by answering the question "So what?"

— Gertrude Sai, Habitus

Gertrude Sai (she/her)

My passion lies both in national and international causes. My education and previous roles have only increased my curiosity.

My background…

As a Research and Evaluation consultant, some of my most recent projects have been to learn about customer experiences in the utility sector, lead creative workshops for well-known food brands, and look at how the experiences of girls who use Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) services in four African countries change over time.

As someone who has done mixed-methods research for a long time, I have a wide range of skills and a lot of insight to offer. I enjoy supporting organisations to take the evidence and insights we uncover together to learn from, inform and change programmes, interventions or campaigns.

I have a lot of experience evaluating programmes with vulnerable groups and working with both internal and external partners in a cross-collaborative way. In the past nine years, I have worked with a variety of client groups and rarely heard voices, including vulnerable adults with complex/long-term health conditions and/or disabilities, individuals with English as an additional language (EAL), children and young people.

How I can help…

I think it’s important to do social impact research with and to help people who are rarely heard from and use the knowledge to create answers to the question ‘So what?”
