Giveback 2027
“A child's circumstances should not determine the limits of their future.”
On Saturday, April 3rd, 2027 — in the heart of Kono District, Sierra Leone — Little Mariama's Foundation will deliver 200 complete school supply kits to 200 children. 200 students. 200 backpacks. One unshakeable mission.
Our Impact in Numbers
The Teen & Youth
Resource Center
Beyond annual givebacks, Little Mariama's Foundation is working towards establishing a permanent Teen and Youth Resource Centre in Kono District — a place where young people can access mentorship, develop skills, find academic guidance, and belong to a safe, nurturing community.
This centre will be co-designed alongside the Kono community — not imposed, but built together. It is the long-term expression of everything LMF stands for: sustained, community-rooted investment in the futures of Kono's young people.
Mentorship Programs
Structured guidance from local and international mentors — people who reflect Kono's community and understand its aspirations.
Technology Access
Digital literacy and computer access for every student — skills for the 21st century, grounded in Kono's context.
Safe Community Hub
A welcoming, permanent space co-designed with the families of Kono — built for belonging, safety, and growth.
