Mofombo Community Launches Construction of New Community Center in Kowa Chiefdom
MOFOMBO, KOWA CHIEFDOM, SIERRA LEONE
The community of Mofombo has officially launched the construction of a new Community Center, in a development expected to strengthen community engagement and provide a dedicated space for meetings, youth activities, social programmes and other public events.
The launching ceremony brought together government representatives, local authorities, traditional leaders, community stakeholders, elders and residents to mark the beginning of the project.
Among those present were Resident Minister John Abu, Councillor Daniel Banya, Section Chief John Kornoh, Mr. Ernest Koroma and National Youth Commission (NYC) Director Sheriff, alongside other community leaders and stakeholders.
The project is being sponsored by Madam Cecelia Jenneh Moifula, whose contribution to the initiative was widely acknowledged during the ceremony. Community leaders expressed appreciation for her commitment to supporting development in Mofombo and described the project as an important investment in the community's future.
Once completed, the facility is expected to serve as a central venue for community meetings, youth programmes, social activities, cultural events and other initiatives that require a dedicated public space.
The project also comes at a time when communities across Sierra Leone continue to seek improved local infrastructure to support social development, youth engagement and community-led initiatives.
Speaking at the ceremony, community representatives encouraged residents and other stakeholders to support the project and ensure that the facility, once completed, is properly maintained for the benefit of future generations.
According to information provided by community representatives, construction work is scheduled to begin on Saturday, August 22, 2026, following the official launch.
For residents of Mofombo, the project represents more than the construction of a physical structure. It is expected to provide a permanent space where community members can come together, discuss local priorities, organize programmes and strengthen cooperation.
The Mofombo community has expressed appreciation to Madam Cecelia Jenneh Moifula, the dignitaries who attended the ceremony, traditional authorities, elders, youth and other stakeholders for their support toward the initiative.
Kowa Chiefdom Blog will continue to follow the project and provide updates on its progress as construction gets underway.
