A number of communities in Tonkolili District are having a challenge to access safe drinking water and this has thwarted development. It is against that backdrop the organization is stepping up to ensure members of those deprived communities benefitted and access safe drinking water.
During a visit on the 25th of March 2024 to Mathinka Lol in Kholifa Mabang chiefdom, one of the communities benefiting from the organization’s philanthropy, a number of bore holes were seen around. While some of the hand pumps are in good working condition, work is still ongoing on the others.
Beneficiaries and residents of Yoni and Kholifa Mabang chiefdoms where the organization is currently digging the bore holes and carrying out other developmental projects described the gesture as an heartfelt show of love.
Founded in 2020 by Gibrilla Issa Kargbo, a native of Yoni chiefdom who’s currently based in Turkey, the organization aimed at providing essential humanitarian services to the people of Sierra Leone.
Kargbo, the founder and Chief Executive Officer opined that the organization is helping people irrespective of their religion, ethnic background, political and cultural beliefs.
Among the services the organization has provided and still rendering are:
renovation of schools and mosques around Tonkolili District.
Currently, the organization is constructing a six–classroom primary school building at Mathinka Lol community in Kholifa Mabang Chiefdom, and with a water facility (borehole) in the school premises.
Around the Mile 91 township, the organization has dug over 20 boreholes (hand pump water) for various communities.
Peace Village, Masorie, Imatt, Magburaka Road, Back of Ansarul Secondary school are among the communities in Mile 91 that have benefitted from the bore holes. The town is one of the communities that is hardly hit by water scarcity in the dry season, but with Kargbo’s good will gesture, there is a sigh of relief for many deprived communities and residents.
“We’re happy that one of our sons founded this Humanitarian organization because it has to some extent ease the problem of water that has been a major setback for years,” Adama Koroma, a resident in Masorie, a deprived community in Mile 91 said.
The slaughtering of cows shared to different households in and out of Mile 91 was among the gestures many residents would remember the organization for.
The founder being a fervent Muslim, the organization has also distributed dozens of Holy Quran to various islamic scholars across Sierra Leone at free cost.
According to Kargbo, more developmental projects are on the way in the near future. He called on community members to embrace the organization for sustainable development.
