Rimah Safi
Senior MEAL and Communications Officer
Rimah’s journey is one defined by a profound commitment to global health and humanitarian endeavors. As the Senior MEAL and Communications Officer at the David Nott Foundation, her work underscores a dedication to impact and transformation for those affected by conflict and crisis.
Raised in Palestine, Rimah embarked on a journey that has taken her from conflict-affected regions to the city of London, where she currently lives. Rimah’s academic journey began with the pursuit of a Bachelor of Science in Nursing at Birzeit University. It was her experiences as a nurse in conflict-affected areas that ignited her passion for effecting change on a broader scale. This realisation led Rimah to University College London, where she successfully earned a Master’s degree in Education and International Development: Conflict, Emergencies and Peace.
In her current role, Rimah combines her academic insights and field experience to guide the Foundation’s MEAL strategies and elevate its communications. Her work extends beyond programmatic support, embodying her lifelong commitment to creating positive, sustainable impacts for vulnerable populations. Outside of work, she enjoys cooking and reading.
