Sabrina Neto

Sabrina is a humanitarian with experience in emergency response and international development. She has worked in Africa and South America, focusing on food security, disaster response, and community resilience.

She lived in Mozambique for six years, developing programs to help people affected by conflict and climate crises. Her work provided lifesaving aid and supported long-term recovery. She later led a national mental health initiative in Guyana, supported by the Canadian government.

Today, she is a Program Manager at War Child Canada, overseeing a vast portfolio of development and humanitarian projects in Uganda, South Sudan, and Afghanistan, with a focus on education, health, and capacity building.

Sabrina graduated from Holy Trinity Catholic High School and believes her Catholic education shaped her values. “I didn’t realize it at the time, but looking back, I see how receiving my education in a faith-driven environment shaped me – it instilled values that continue to guide me in my work and daily life.”

She holds an Honours Bachelor’s degree from the University of Toronto. She also earned a Master’s in Development Studies from the University of Sussex.

Faith and community are important to her. She serves as the Social Justice Chair for the Catholic Women’s League in Alliston and is also active in youth ministry and local outreach.

Her mission is clear: help communities, support the vulnerable, and create lasting change.
