In your day-to-day life, you are:

  • Passionate about Africa, I have been involved in the field of international solidarity to support African initiatives and contribute to developing the continent. I recently obtained my master degree in humanitarian affairs and hope to be able to use my theoretical and practice experience to participate concretely in international development projects in Africa.

Why volunteer for Pesinet?

  • I got interested in Pesinet firstly because of the innovation in healthcare that the project provides. The implementation in a pilot phase in Mali was also a key argument for me to get involved as I know the country and lived there for 6 months a few years ago.  The relevance of the project and the involvement of its founders also added to my motivation. Besides, social entrepreneurship is an area that I don’t know well and I was curious to learn more about it by contributing to Pesinet’s work.

Your role, your contribution?

  • Administrative tasks related to the organization’s functionning (management of memberships/donations)
