I’m motivated to be part of the Catalyst Now Child Protection Collaboration because I believe in the power of partnerships to drive real change for vulnerable children. With my experience at 180 Turning Lives Around, I’ve seen firsthand the impact of violence, trafficking, and abuse, and I know that systemic solutions require global collaboration. This opportunity allows me to advocate for survivors, connect with key funders and partners, and help shape innovative, action-driven solutions that protect children. I want to ensure that local insights inform global strategies and that survivors’ voices remain at the center of child protection efforts.

Dear Sir/Madam I am writing to express my deep passion for the work that we do at the African Children and Youth Development Network (ACYDN). As the founder of this organization, I am committed to improving the lives of children and young people in Africa, and I believe that our work can serve as a catalyst for positive change across the continent. At ACYDN, we are dedicated to empowering young people to become leaders in their communities and to advocating for their rights. We believe that every child deserves access to quality education, healthcare, and basic human rights, and we work tirelessly to ensure that these needs are met. We recognize that our mission is not an easy one, but we are motivated by the knowledge that our work has the potential to make a real difference in the lives of countless children and young people across Africa. We are constantly seeking new partnerships and collaborations that will help us to achieve our goals, and we are committed to remaining at the forefront of the fight for youth empowerment and development. As the founder of ACYDN, I am proud to be part of a team that is making a real impact on the lives of young people in Africa. I am convinced that our work can serve as a catalyst for positive change, and I would be honored to have your support as we continue to pursue our mission. Thank you for your consideration.
