‼️Fatmata Shaid Kamara Signs Out of University: A Legacy of Bai Bureh Heritage Foundation Educational Empowerment

Four years ago, the foundation took a bold step to invest in the academic futures of young people in Port Loko, and Fatmata's story is a shining example of the impact of that vision. First, we are grateful to everyone who has contributed, and may God bless you abundantly. We are excited to announce that our first beneficiary has reached a significant milestone in her academic journey, completing her final examinations for a Bachelor of Science Degree in Accounting and Finance at the Ernest Bai Koroma University of Science and Technology, Makeni campus. Signing out of the university marks a moment of celebration not just for her personally but for the Bai Bureh Heritage Foundation, whose relentless commitment to educational empowerment played a critical role in her success. Her journey was far from easy. Like many students in Sierra Leone, Fatmata faced immense challenges, from financial instability to limited access to study resources, yet she remained determined. The Foundation stood beside her at every critical moment, offering support and encouragement. Now, as she prepares to graduate, her success is a powerful testament to what focused educational investment can achieve. She is poised to step into the professional world equipped with the knowledge and skills to make meaningful contributions to her field and her nation.

Regards, Amb. Unisa Totti Fofanah- Executive Director at Bai Bureh Heritage Foundation
