In July 2025, the Tamba Abdulai Foundation (TAF), with generous support from Upgrade for Africa and Les Pastras launched an education initiative benefiting 80 vulnerable girls across 25 communities in Kono District, Sierra Leone The project provided full school support including uniforms, shoes, backpacks, learning materials, solar lights, and tuition fees helping families overcome major financial barriers to education.
To improve learning conditions, TAF also invested in critical school infrastructure. A three-room modern toilet block was constructed at Ansaru Islamic Secondary School, and 100 benches and desks were donated to three primary schools. These improvements enhanced sanitation, safety, and classroom comfort for hundreds of pupils.
A well-attended distribution ceremony brought together government officials, parents, community leaders, civil society, and media representatives. Stakeholders praised the initiative and reaffirmed the importance of educating girls as a pathway to stronger, healthier communities.
TAF remains committed to supporting vulnerable children across Sierra Leone and plans to expand school support packages, strengthen school infrastructure, and deepen community engagement in future years.
