PASSIONATE PROFESSIONALS DEDICATED TO EMPOWERING YOUTH.

At Kharis Initiative, our strength lies in our people. Our diverse team brings together a wealth of experience, dedication, and a shared commitment to empowering young individuals. Get to know the faces behind our mission:

Paula Samuel
Managing Director

"Through the Kharis Initiative, I have the opportunity to provide young people with the guidance and support I wish I had received earlier. Often, success is just one key piece of information away, and my mission is to offer that knowledge to those who are untrained or uninformed. I am committed to helping as many young individuals as possible, giving them the tools they need to grow and succeed. It is my deepest desire to witness their progress firsthand, as they overcome challenges and unlock their potential. Our initiatives are about creating real impact in their lives."

Cristina Kwakye

Operations Manager

"Kharis Initiative has been such a fulfilling experience. I love how every day brings something new, whether it's facilitating the operational side of our organisation or supporting the youth employment members. The work we do to help the youth feels truly meaningful, and it's rewarding to be a part of an organisation that's making a real impact on the careers and futures of our next generation. I really enjoy the balance of keeping things organised while also building connections with the people I work with."

Ama Kwakye

Social Media & Media Director

"Working at Kharis Initiative allows me to do what I’m most passionate about—amplifying voices, driving lasting impact, and creating platforms where future leaders can truly shine. Every day, through dynamic media strategies and purposeful storytelling, we tackle some of the most pressing social issues of our time, from economic inequality to community development. The most rewarding part of my role is not just sharing the stories of those we serve but actively shaping those narratives to inspire action, growth, and transformation."

Sabine Kankonda
Executive Board Member

"I am honoured to be part of a mission that is dedicated to transforming the lives of young people by helping them achieve meaningful employment. We believe that every young person, regardless of their background or starting point, deserves the opportunity to build a bright and fulfilling future. We understand the challenges many young people face when entering the workforce, and we are committed to breaking down barriers and opening doors to opportunities that might otherwise seem out of reach."

Ijenu Chikwe
Sales & Recruitment Director

"As one of the Sales and Recruitment Directors of Kharis Initiative, I’m driven by a deep commitment to reaching young people where they are and connecting them to life-changing opportunities. Our mission is not just about employment - it’s about building belief, confidence, and a future that reflects their potential. We actively seek out young individuals from all walks of life, break down the barriers that stand in their way, and guide them into roles where they can grow, thrive, and lead. Everyone deserves a chance to succeed - and we’re here to make sure they get it."
