Meet Josephine Bakhita Sesay, President of the 6th Cohort and a graduate from UNIMAK with a BA in Development Studies.

Since beginning her Fellowship journey in the Masantigie community, Josephine has remained committed to supporting the growth and development of children and young girls both in the classroom and within the wider community.
At school, Josephine leads the KG class, creating a warm and welcoming environment where children feel safe, supported, and encouraged to learn. Through play-based activities and storytelling, she has instilled confidence and communication skills in her pupils.

Beyond the classroom, she has extended her impact into the wider Masantigie community. Recognizing that many young girls had limited exposure to practical skill development, she introduced small skill-based activities such as hand bead making. Through this initiative, she is helping girls develop creativity, patience, and concentration, while also exposing them to the importance of acquiring practical skills alongside formal education.

Her work reflects the true spirit of transformational leadership identifying needs within the community and taking action to create sustainable impact.We celebrate Josephine B. Sesay for her dedication, passion, and unwavering commitment to making a difference in the lives of these young learners and the Masatigie Community as a whole.
