Djoneidi pioneered to Africa at some point settling in Niger,[2] and in 1970 she was elected to the National Spiritual Assembly of Dahomey, Togo, and Niger when it was established.[3] In 1975 an independent National Spiritual Assembly of Niger was established and Djoneidi was elected to the body and attended the Fourth International Convention in the Holy Land in 1978 as a member of it.[4]

In 1990 the Universal House of Justice appointed Djoeneidi as a Counselor for Africa for a five year term and she was appointed for a second term in 1995.[5]
