Teach For Sierra Leone

Access to reliable light should never determine a child's ability to learn or succeed. In Moyamba District, every pupil registered for the NPSE in Kori, Kowa and Kamajei Chiefdoms will receive a solar device to support their preparation for the upcoming exams. Through this pilot, 1,000 learners will directly benefit from access to solar-powered learning devices, ensuring that lack of electricity is no longer a barrier to studying and success. As the initiative scales, 5,000 solar devices will be distributed across additional chiefdoms and districts ahead of the 2026/27 academic year. This initiative, made possible through Solar Buddy in partnership with the Lena Marshall Foundation UK, reflects the power of collaboration in expanding access to quality education and equitable learning opportunities. At Teach For Sierra Leone, we remain committed to ensuring that every child, regardless of location or circumstance, has the tools they need to learn, grow, and thrive. We wish all pupils the very best in their upcoming exams. For partnerships: info@teachforsierraleone.org @tfslcommunications

Fellow Spotlight: CATHERINE NAOMI CONTEH In Vaama Community, Moyamba District, Teach For Sierra Leone Fellow Catherine Naomi Conteh is transforming early childhood education through dedication and strong community collaboration. Upon her arrival at Roman Catholic Primary School Vaama, the ECD class lacked a safe learning environment, operating in an unfinished and unsafe structure. Through her leadership and partnership with the community, the space was transformed into a safe and conducive learning environment for young learners. Beyond the classroom, Catherine mobilized community support to meet the needs of her pupils, resulting in the provision of uniforms, daily meals, and proper seating. Today, children attend school with renewed confidence and enthusiasm, learning in an environment that reflects care and possibility. Catherine’s work highlights the power of leadership and community engagement in driving meaningful change in underserved communities. Her story stands as a powerful reminder of what is possible when passion meets purpose in education.
