Patience journey with FOA began when she observed how street connected children struggled to make a living, often facing harsh realities on the streets. Recognising that occasional giveaways were not a sustainable solution, Patience sought out long-term ways to make a difference. This led her to join forces with organisations focused on empowering vulnerable children through education and vocational training.
Starting as a volunteer, she quickly immersed herself in the mission, becoming a driving force for change. Her dedication and leadership skills earned her the position of Administrative Coordinator, where she now oversees critical initiatives aimed at uplifting these children and giving them the tools for a better future.
Patience holds a Higher National Diploma in Accountancy, bringing both a strong professional background and a deep personal commitment to her role. Her work is guided by a desire to use her skills to make a lasting impact, and she remains determined to push forward the agenda of improving the lives of marginalized children through sustainable development.
She is also an international delegate of the commonwealth community and an entrepreneur in the import sector. Her multifaceted career reflects her ambition to make meaningful contributions across various fields, while always keeping her commitment to vulnerable children at the core of her work.
Patience loves to learn anything Korean from their language to their culture, and their entertainment.
Every moment a child is off the streets and in the classroom is another moment for the Future of Africa.
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.
Staff and volunteers recently underwent a professional development workshop where we’ve learned to respond with more compassion, understand trauma better, and support each youth in a way that helps them truly thrive.
