We are incredibly proud to celebrate a remarkable milestone as Aiah Patrick Gbandawa and Tamba Ngevao have both been selected as part of the EdLaunch Africa 2026 Cohort, joining just 17 social entrepreneurs across the continent in this highly competitive Alumni incubator.
What makes this moment even more powerful is where their journey began.
Aiah Patrick Gbandawa emerged as part of the winning team of our maiden Pitch Competition, demonstrating exceptional vision, clarity, and a bold commitment to solving real challenges in education.
Tamba, who secured the position of 2nd runner-up, equally stood out for his innovation, resilience, and passion for Climate impact.
Today, both leaders are taking that same drive onto a continental stage.
Their selection from the Teach For All Africa network is a strong validation of their potential to transform ideas into sustainable solutions that improve learning outcomes for children, especially in underserved communities.
At Teach For Sierra Leone, we remain committed to building a pipeline of transformational leaders who are not only responding to today’s challenges but are shaping the future of education across Africa.
We celebrate Patrick and Tamba, not just for how far they have come, but for the impact they are yet to create.
