Following the successful distribution of solar lights to pupils across Kori, Fakunya, Kowa, and Kamajei Chiefdoms in Moyamba District, TFSL on the 9th of May 2026 conducted a monitoring visit to NPSE examination centers in Moyamba Junction, Taiama, Njala and Senehun, to observe the conduct of the examinations and engage with pupils who benefited from the initiative.
The visit provided an opportunity to witness firsthand the determination, confidence, and preparedness of pupils sitting to the NPSE. Across the centres visited, many pupils expressed excitement and appreciation for the solar lights, noting that the devices enabled them to study at night and revise more effectively ahead of the exams despite the electricity challenges faced in their communities.
School leaders, teachers, and community stakeholders also commended the intervention, emphasizing that access to light made a meaningful difference in supporting pupils during one of the most critical stages of their academic journey. In communities where many families cannot afford alternative lighting sources, the solar devices became an important tool in helping children remain focused on their studies.
The monitoring exercise further reaffirmed Teach For Sierra Leone’s commitment to supporting equitable learning opportunities for children in underserved communities — not only within the classroom, but also through interventions that address barriers affecting learning outcomes.
As an organization, we remain inspired by the resilience and determination of these pupils and proud to continue standing with communities to ensure that every child has the opportunity to learn, thrive, and succeed regardless of their circumstances.
