This strategic engagement marks another milestone in the foundation’s growing global advocacy work focused on community empowerment, youth development, and social justice.
The nominated delegates bring diverse professional backgrounds, reflecting the foundation’s commitment to inclusive representation and international collaboration.

According to Alice Joseph, Founder and Executive Director of MaryJoe Foundation, the organization’s participation in UNODC 2026 demonstrates its dedication to aligning grassroots initiatives with global policy frameworks.
“Our presence at the UNODC Congress is a significant opportunity to amplify the voices of vulnerable communities and contribute to international solutions addressing crime, inequality, and social instability,” she stated.
The foundation’s delegation is expected to engage in high-level dialogues, technical sessions, and partnership forums aimed at strengthening global cooperation. Through these engagements, MaryJoe Foundation seeks to build strategic alliances with international stakeholders, governments, and civil society organizations.
