She has worked with governments, organisations of persons with disabilities, United Nations agencies, civil society organisations, and youth networks to support the development of disability-inclusive policies, programmes, and advocacy initiatives.
Tsaone holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Public Health and is currently pursuing a Master of Laws (LLM) in Human Rights, specialising in Sexual and Reproductive Rights in Africa. Her academic and professional interests centre on advancing social justice, promoting inclusive public policy, and strengthening systems that respond to the diverse realities of young people with disabilities.
She is a 2024 Mandela Washington Fellowship alumna and is passionate about building a future where young people, particularly young people with disabilities, are recognised as leaders, innovators, and partners in sustainable development. As a member of the Commonwealth Children and Youth Disability Network (CCYDN) Executive Committee, she looks forward to collaborating with fellow leaders across the Commonwealth to champion disability inclusion, amplify youth voices, and drive meaningful change.
