My name is Roy Robinson. I am 29 years old. I live in Freetown, Sierra Leone, Africa. In the Young World Leader Program I am a Primary Continent Leader for Africa.

My local mission is to ensure that communities play a role in safeguarding young people from drugs, alcohol and female genital mutilation (FGM). I began by listening to the experiences of young people. Young people are seldom heard and bringing change starts by giving them the space and confidence to articulate their situation. My next step was to enable them by teaching leadership skills. When confidence and self value are present as an experience, then young people will say no to drugs, alcohol, teenage pregnancy and FGM.

My global mission is to empower and enable a total of 4.000 Young World Leaders by the year 2024. This will impact 4.000 communities. This is my contribution towards a world that works for all people. My name is Roy Robinson. My vision is a world where all people live in dignity and good health.
