Joy's Centre Corporation
I am a mission-driven nonprofit leader and DEI advocate passionate about empowering women, youth, and underserved communities through sustainable development and inclusive leadership.
As Founder & Director of Joy’s Centre in Uganda, I lead community-based initiatives in education, healthcare, and economic empowerment—impacting hundreds of vulnerable children and families.
Our work thrives on compassion, global partnerships, and a commitment to excellence. In my role as Director of Development at JCL Care Foundation, I focus on fundraising, strategic partnerships, and cross-border collaboration to scale impact across Canada and East Africa.
At the heart of everything I do is a commitment to building strong relationships—with communities, partners, donors, and organizations. I believe that meaningful, collaborative relationships are the foundation for lasting change. With a background in political science, trauma-informed care, and community outreach.
I take a holistic, servant-leadership approach grounded in equity, faith, and shared purpose. Let’s connect to create inclusive, resilient, and empowered communities together.
