Don Bosco Fambul has on Thursday 17, September 2026, supported 50 vulnerable children with school bags, books, pens and other learning materials under the second phase of its Street Child Project.
The presentation was held at the organisation’s headquarters Fort Street in Freetown, bringing together project officials, parents, beneficiaries and other stakeholders.
Speaking at the ceremony, Mr Francis S. Kamara, Project Head of the Street Child Project at Don Bosco Fambul, said the initiative has moved into its second phase after the successful completion of the first.
He explained that the second phase is specifically targeting 50 street connected children who are currently attending school but need additional support with basic learning materials.
Mr Kamara said the provision of the materials is intended to help beneficiaries stay focused on their education and ease some of the difficulties they face in meeting their basic school needs.
He encouraged the beneficiaries to take the support seriously and make good use of the items provided to improve their studies.
Also, speaking at the event Madam Juliana Bangura, Project Coordinator of the Hope Plus Project at Don Bosco Fambul, thanked the parents and guardians for their support and participation in the programme.
She urged parents to take responsibility for monitoring their children and ensuring that the materials are used for their intended purpose.
Madam Bangura also expressed appreciation to the donors for supporting the project, while calling for continued assistance to enable more vulnerable children to benefit.
She said sustained support from partners and other stakeholders would help Don Bosco Fambul reach more children in need and provide them with opportunities to remain in school.
The Director of Don Bosco Fambul at Fort Street, Rev. Father Edwin Tangie, called on the beneficiaries and their parents to value the materials provided.
Father Tangie said the organisation remains committed to supporting vulnerable children and creating opportunities that can improve their lives.
He assured the beneficiaries that Don Bosco Fambul would continue working to ensure that more children benefit from its various programmes.
He further encouraged the children to remain committed to their education and use the support as an opportunity to work towards a better future.
One of the beneficiaries, Joshua Pastor Koroma, a JSS 3 pupil of War Wounded Academy School Eastern Part, expressed appreciation to Don Bosco Fambul for the assistance.
Koroma said the learning materials would help them in their studies and encouraged other beneficiaries to make proper use of the items.
He also called on parents to closely monitor their children and guide them in using the materials responsibly.
The latest intervention highlights Don Bosco Fambul’s continued efforts to support vulnerable children through education and other programmes aimed at improving their welfare and helping them build a better future.
