Current Professional Engagement / Role: Africa Programme - Safeguarding Adviser at Keeping Children Safe

What inspires your work on ending childhood sexual violence? 

Working with educational institutions and crisis-affected communities has shown me how proper safeguarding transforms lives. Every child deserves a safe environment to thrive. My experience with vulnerable youth populations drives my commitment to building stronger protection systems and empowering communities to prevent violence.

One highlight from your experience in the SPROUT fellowship 

Being part of the Sprout Fellowship has enabled me to collaborate with international youth protection initiatives, contributing to global safeguarding standards. This cross-cultural knowledge exchange has enriched my approach to developing comprehensive safeguarding protocols that reach hundreds of youth across educational institutions in Cameroon and Africa.
