On the 24th of April 2026, Teach For Sierra Leone successfully distributed solar lights to over 1,000 pupils across Kori, Kowa and Kamajei Chiefdoms in Moyamba District, ensuring that access to reliable light is no longer a barrier to learning.
For many of these pupils, studying has long been limited by darkness. Today, that reality is changing. These solar lights represent far more than a source of illumination, they are a gateway to extended learning hours, improved preparation for the National Primary School Examination (NPSE) and renewed hope for academic success.
The distribution was carried out under the dynamic leadership of our CEO, Madam Josephine M Saidu, with the presence of the School Quality Assurance Officer from the Ministry of Basic and Senior Secondary Education, Mr Ahmed Vangahun. Their presence reflects a shared commitment to strengthening education systems and supporting pupils in underserved communities.
This milestone was made possible through the generous support of the Lena Marshall Foundation UK and Solar Buddy. Their partnership is not only providing solar devices but also unlocking opportunities for children to learn, grow and thrive regardless of their circumstances.
At Teach For Sierra Leone, we believe that where a child lives should never determine their access to quality education. Through initiatives like this, we continue to work towards a future where every child is equipped with the tools they need to succeed.
