Sabrinah Morea Ndjvee: social worker, specializing in social work and development
Sabrinah Morea Ndjvee specializes in social work and development. She holds a bachelor’s degree in social work and development, with a specialization as a social worker, as well as a Master degree in social policy and development, focusing on educational, cultural and sustainable development policy.
What motivated her to take up this career was the lack of support facilities for people with invisible disabilities such as autism or dyslexia, which deprive them of access to basic social services, including education.
Being in charge of activities within the KOLOAINA Association, Sabrinah uses her skills to design and implement specific activities that meet the needs of families. She provides family support and organizes training sessions for beneficiary mothers, equipping them with the necessary tools to better support their families and fully integrate into society. Sabrinah thus demonstrates her commitment to improving the quality of life of marginalized populations and promoting their social inclusion.
