Patrick’s Journey to Hope and Healing
At eleven years old, Patrick chose the uncertainty of the streets over a home that no longer felt safe. What began as a fight for survival would later become a journey toward purpose.
Kate is the Programs Facilitator at Future of Africa, playing a key role in supporting the programs team.
She focuses on coordinating street outreach, helping residents gain essential life skills, and ensuring everything runs according to program policies and standards.
Kate holds a degree in Social Work from University of Ghana, and is certified as a wildlife activist. While in school she spent significant time volunteering with NGOs that support vulnerable youth in need of protection. A passionate advocate for mental health, wildlife, women’s health and a plastic-free environment, Kate takes pride in delivering innovations and customer service excellence.
Outside of work, Kate is passionate about her wig making business, Glam by Kai. She takes pleasure in spending time with family, reading, watching documentaries and movies.

From surviving on the streets to studying General Arts in senior high school, Vera’s journey is one of resilience. Once a young girl searching for belonging, she’s now building a future filled with hope and purpose.
In August we hosted our Fresh Start Ceremony and it was one of those days that reminded us why we do this work. We celebrated exciting new beginnings of youth who once spent years on the street without hope and purpose.
