I am a visionary agriculturalist and social development advocate, committed to contributing to the transformation of Sierra Leone’s agricultural landscape through sustainable and inclusive practices. As the founder and CEO of the People Centred Cashew Nut Initiative, I lead a pioneering project based in the Northern region of Sierra Leone that empowers local communities through cashew cultivation, processing, and trade. I am driven by a vision for a more sustainable and people focused future.

Growing up in the north of Sierra Leone, I saw firsthand how agriculture could be both a lifeline and a source of hope. That early connection inspired me to pursue a BSc in Agriculture Education from Njala University, University of Sierra Leone, where I began shaping my dream of empowering rural communities through farming.

My passion for development led me to earn a Postgraduate Diploma in management and Implementation of Development Projects from the University of Reading, UK, equipping me with strategic tools to drive impactful change. I further expanded my understanding of community welfare and resilience through an MSc in Social Work from Royal Holloway, University of London.

My multidisciplinary background fuels my mission: to build a sustainable agricultural sector in Sierra Leone that uplifts farmers, protects the environment, and fosters economic growth. Under my leadership, the People Centred cashew Nut initiative is not just a business, it’s a movement towards food security, rural empowerment, and long-term development. Our work is grounded in community, sustainable, and long-term impact. We are not just growing cashews, we’re growing opportunity, dignity and resilience.
