👋 Say hello to Carine Sanza, Human Resources Assistant based in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).

Today marks the start of Refugee Week, and we’re honoured to celebrate employees like Sanza, who has experienced first hand the challenges facing refugees and displaced communities around the globe. Sanza has been displaced twice, being forced to flee Kolwezi during the First Republic of the Congo Civil War before seeking asylum in South Africa some years later. After five years working in Johannesburg, Sanza returned home to the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), where she now resides.

Having overcome significant adversity as a refugee, Sanza returned to her country with a renewed sense of purpose and resilience, fuelling her commitment to help others. She uses her role at Menzies Aviation to support and empower her female colleagues, helping them find the confidence to apply for senior roles. She has also helped establish a network that connects her colleagues with inspirational women, helping to foster an environment of growth and empowerment. 👏

Sanza recalls being nominated for a We Are Menzies award as one of her highlights of the past two years. “It was a lovely surprise to learn that I had been nominated for the Integrity award earlier this year,” Sanza recalls. “It really boosted my confidence and commitment to a career at Menzies.”

We’re incredibly fortunate to have employees like Sanza at Menzies Aviation, who continue to dedicate their time and commitment to helping others. Sanza’s resilience and compassion make her an invaluable asset to our team. Thank you, Sanza for your continued hard work empowering and inspiring others. 🌟
