The Transformation in the Classroom

"Participating in the Learning Foundation training has brought so much impact to our school - lesson planning before teaching, high student participation in the classroom, and high performance of students in their exit exams.

One Teacher, Three Classrooms

"Some of the challenges my teachers face are that they are not paid by the government. The majority are volunteers."

Loving the Work Beyond the Struggle

"I spend a lot of time in school. When I get home, I have to do my work, so there is not enough time for me to do anything. Despite all the challenges, I love to teach and I like the job as a teacher."

"My name is Mariatu Emmanuela Conteh. I am a teacher at S.D.A Primary School, Makali. I am in charge of Class Three, and I teach all the subjects. A typical day as a teacher, when I wake up, I take my bath, make breakfast for my family, and prepare to go to school.

For far too long, many teachers in Sierra Leone have stepped into classrooms without the training and resources they need to help every child succeed.

We're working to change that.

Cut Off in the Last Mile

"For teachers and pupils, the distance is not easy. With all these sufferings, the salary is not enough, although I am a PIN-coded teacher."

Stand behind dedicated teachers like Hassan today!

Going the Extra Mile

"Before I go home, I make sure that the knowledge I am passing or impacting to the children is gained by each and every one of them during the day."

Sacrificing Life for the Classroom

"My name is Hassan Kamara. I am a teacher at S.D.A Primary School, Makali. I am teaching Class Six, and I teach all the subjects. As a teacher, when I wake up in the morning, I prepare my school materials before I come to school."

Everything Connects to a Teacher

"One important message I would like to send to the world is about the importance of teachers. Teachers, to me, are the first priority in life. Everything that human beings can do is made possible through a teacher.

The Spark That Keeps Me Going 

"What gives me motivation to come to school is the training I received from TLF. They have impacted so much knowledge in me for me to continue this learning process in my school and in my class."

Sharing What Little I Have

"There are some pupils who come to school without lunch. If I have one, two or three bills, I encourage those pupils who don't have lunch by giving them something to eat, so I encourage them to continue.

"As a head teacher of this school, we face a lot of challenges, especially in terms of feeding all the teachers in the school. We are not paid by the government. We are voluntary teachers."

Who Will Stand Up to Teach?
"If one of my students watched my video, one thing they will remember about me is that Ms. Jalloh does not joke with attendance. And some are going to say Ms. Jalloh is a very hardworking teacher

Help us support teachers like Ms. Jalloh!

Kept Going by a Certificate
"Despite all the challenges, my aim is to become a professional teacher. I give a big thanks to School for Salone because they helped me to afford my education and get my certificate. This has kept me going in the classroom."

Teaching in the Dark on an Empty Stomach.

"Teaching in a last-mile community is very difficult because there are a lot of constraints while living in this community. There is no light. If I want to prepare my lesson notes, I don't have light.
