Spotlight on Joseph: Dedication and Passion in Empowering Youth in Sierra Leone

By Amy Baty-Herbert | Project Coordinator

Today, we are sharing about and putting the spotlight on Joseph.

Joseph is the Program Coordinator of Develop Africa Sierra Leone.  His journey with Develop Africa has been a testament to his unwavering dedication and natural inclination to help others.

Over the past eight years, six of which he has worked for the organization, Joseph's passion for our work with young people has only grown stronger. His genuine desire to witness progress, especially among the youth from vulnerable communities with limited resources, fuels his daily commitment.    

Having witnessed numerous boys and girls transition from junior high school to university, Joseph's heart swells with immense pride.  Joseph is pivotal in enabling these transformative journeys. Navigating cultural barriers and working with diverse communities can be challenging, but Joseph tackles it gracefully.

Joseph engages with chiefs, elders, opinion leaders, and other influential figures to do this. Through these connections, he builds relationships, fosters trust, and ensures the cooperation of the communities they serve.

When asked about the essential skills for his role, Joseph emphasizes dedication and passion as the most important skills needed for his role. Integrity is a core value that Joseph holds dear. His commitment to fairness and transparency ensures that the aid provided by Develop Africa reaches those who genuinely need it, making a lasting impact on their lives.

Joseph's unwavering dedication and people-oriented approach make him an invaluable asset to Develop Africa.

Thanks to passionate staff like Joseph, our impact grows each year. 

We would not be able to make a massive difference in the lives of our beneficiaries without the global team of staff, volunteers, partners, and donors.

Like Joseph, we sincerely appreciate your support for the future leaders of Sierra Leone. If you haven't already, we warmly welcome your continued support through a recurring donation. We also encourage you to share this project with your contacts and invite them to consider supporting this valuable initiative.

If you have any questions or inquiries, please email us at GlobalGiving@developafrica.org.


Warm regards,
Amy and the Develop Africa team
