  SODEIT Global Support Centre was established in April 2020 in response to manmade and natural disasters in West and Central Africa and the ongoing local challenges to vulnerable communities in Cameroon and Sierra Leone. The support Centre was launched with over 500 United Nations online volunteers who came together with one mission – to safeguard the vulnerable communities in Cameroon and Sierra Leone. The support Centre operates virtually and is divided into 20 teams led by 40 team leaders from across the world who Dedicate over 30 hours per week to this humanitarian aid. Each team member uses the skills learnt so far in life to build a safer, healthier and caring living environment with the other team members who they have not met before and for the people who they do not know so well. However, all of them have a common purpose and no matter how difficult the challenges may be, they are pursuing their best endeavors to change for good. The change has started in April 2020 and will be continuing with our global virtual support Centre, a rather new concept we are implementing in the world. We welcome you to join and support as one of us. Leaving the World Better Place than we met.
