​Mrs. Koroma was part of the Sierra Leone peace-building process representing her local community-Kissi Bendu at the then Sierra Leone Government and the Revolutionary United Front (RUF) “Peace Talks in Lome, Togo”. Having seen the suffering and mayhems of her people and the Kissi Bendu Community she thought it fit to be part of the peace building process that could end the decade-long miseries of innocent lives, damage to infrastructure leading to further dandification   into underdevelopment and poverty in Sierra Leone as a whole and in the Kissi Bendu Community in particular. She has the notion that the task of building peace cannot be challenged by individualistic thinking but through communal action and selflessness.
