Live Pitch · Project Manager
Imagine coordinating community programmes across three states in one weekend, with every volunteer, budget line and report tracked from one desk.
I founded Volunteers Organization Africa and I run it the way social-impact projects should run: clear briefs, named owners, written follow-ups, and transparent reporting. I am organised, proactive, dependable, and passionate about work that matters. I'm Nmesoma Diva Oloto.
Pitching for: Project Manager · Harrison Obiefule Foundation
What I Bring
Four years of coordinating projects, programmes and community initiatives with many moving parts: people, timelines, budgets, partners and reports.
Programme & Stakeholder Coordination
I map out each programme from brief to close-out: objectives, tasks, owners, deadlines and check-ins, with partners, volunteers and beneficiaries kept in the loop.
Clear Writing & Documentation
Briefs, reports, SOPs, donor updates and team comms written plainly and accurately. Good writing keeps everyone aligned and creates a paper trail that outlasts the project.
Dependable, Proactive, Calm
I follow through before being chased, flag risks early, and stay steady when deadlines, field visits and last-minute changes stack up.
I don't just coordinate projects. I make sure people, information and resources are in the right place at the right time.
Tools I Use, And How I'd Use Them Here
Google Sheets & Excel
Programme trackers & budgets
I run every outreach off one live sheet: activity, owner, deadline, budget line, status and notes. The same structure would track foundation programmes, grants, disbursements and beneficiary numbers in one place.
Google Calendar
Timelines & milestones
Backward-planned from programme date: partner confirmation, volunteer briefing, field visits, reporting deadlines and board updates, with reminders so nothing is chased at the last minute.
Notion
Project briefs & knowledge base
One page per programme: objectives, stakeholder contacts, task lists, meeting notes and lessons learned. New team members can pick up the context without a long handover.
Zoho CRM
Partner & stakeholder stages
Track where each partner, donor or beneficiary group stands: first contact, proposal sent, confirmed, active, reported, closed. Follow-ups are dated and owned, so relationships do not go cold.
WhatsApp Business
Team & partner comms
Labelled chats and broadcast lists per programme, with written confirmation of every verbal agreement. That is how I coordinate volunteers and vendors across states without being on every site.
Google Workspace & MS Office
Docs, forms & reports
Forms for beneficiary registration and volunteer sign-up that feed straight into a sheet, plus clean programme reports, concept notes and donor updates the foundation can share with confidence.
Canva
Programme materials
Event flyers, programme invitations, impact one-pagers, social media cards and presentation decks, produced quickly so communications never wait on a designer.
Checklists & SOPs
Quality & accountability
Every programme phase ends with a sign-off: objectives met, funds accounted for, beneficiaries reached, photos captured, report drafted. It is how consistency survives multiple concurrent projects.
Proven, Not Just Stated
Founder, Volunteers Organization Africa (VOA)
I built VOA from a single orphanage visit into a structured organisation running community outreaches across Lagos, Owerri, Abuja and Enugu. I plan, budget and run programmes remotely: needs assessments, partner and vendor sourcing, volunteer briefings, field coordination, and a public financial report after every outreach.
Remote Execution Without Being On Site
Three states in one weekend, ₦2.9M deployed. Every site ran off a shared tracker, a checklist and named owners, with photo and receipt confirmation at each step. Nothing depended on me physically standing there.
Large-Scale Community Event · TEDxFUTO
Coordinated 80+ volunteers to deliver a flawless event for 600+ attendees, speakers and sponsors, from setup through breakdown.
Sponsorship & Logistics · Canzona
Led sponsor engagement and cross-team logistics for the annual concert, securing 40% of total event revenue, the highest to date.
Project Tracking & Documentation · Programmes Associate
Built and maintained trackers, checklists and reporting systems that kept multi-part programmes on schedule and left a clean paper trail for stakeholders.

How I'd Run Your Next Programme
A simple board that shows what is planned, what is moving, and what is done.
Every task has an owner, a due date, and a clear next step. This is how I keep VOA programmes on track across states, and how I would run your outreach, partner follow-ups and board reporting.
To do
Plan Q4 outreach: confirm locations, partners and beneficiary numbers
Next step
Venue not yet confirmed. I am calling two backup locations today.
Doing
Confirm partners, roles and delivery timelines
Next step
Main contact is unavailable. I have asked for a backup contact and set a Friday deadline.
Done
Submit programme report and beneficiary data
Next step
Two receipts were missing. I followed up with the field team and completed the report.
Why I'm The Right Fit
Organised & Dependable
I do not drop the ball on partner follow-ups, volunteer briefings or reporting deadlines. That means fewer last-minute surprises and more programmes delivered as planned.
Detail-Oriented
I notice the small things before they become big problems: budget line items, beneficiary lists, venue logistics and report details done right the first time.
Proactive & Calm Under Pressure
Tight deadlines, field visits and shifting stakeholder needs do not phase me. I flag risks early, adjust plans quickly, and keep the team moving.
Integrity & Transparency
At VOA, every naira is tracked, receipted and reported publicly after each outreach. I bring that same honesty to budgets, partner payments and donor updates at the Harrison Obiefule Foundation.
