I am a legal practitioner, founder and Executive Director of The Poor Man’s Friend Justice Centre, an organization providing free socio-legal services to poor, marginalised and vulnerabe peole living in deprived communities in Sierra, Leone. The organisation also provides legal aid services to the Milton Margai School for the Blind and the National Union for Disability Issues. I have worked in the legal aid sector for over a decade and have also worked for other legal aid organizations such as the Sierra Leone Bar Association’s Legal Aid Scheme and AdvocAid. I served the Bar Association as an Executive member for 5 years and also as the Association’s Head of Programmes.

Presently I am the Bar Association’s representative on The Legal Aid Board and I am also working on establishing the Bar Association’s first Probono Unit.

I am looking for networking opportunities, experience sharing and learning more from the network.
