Since the main objective of the Foundation is to assist families living in poverty and to enhance their self-sufficiency, the foundation realized the need for an Education project that will act as a supplement to the micro credit project by providing the needed financial support to school children who could not pursue their educational dreams due to adverse poverty in their homes and community.
Education is the central point to the development aspirations of any country and acts as a catalyst to both personal and community development. The scholarship fund will promote and help sustain a culture of learning among school children living in Bumbuna and the surrounding villages.
The Pa Sorie Kargbo Foundation awards 25 scholarships annually to Junior Secondary students in Bumbuna. The Foundation will continue to sponsor students in the form of Scholarships from Bumbuna and its surrounding villages, who are qualified to pursue their Secondary, Vocational, Certificate and Degree training in any eligible Educational Institution in Sierra Leone.
The Foundation will donate funds to schools in Bumbuna and these funds will be used for targeted projects such as purchase of school supplies and instructional materials. Students eligible for Scholarship fund will be selected by the Committee. Five computers and two printers were donated to the Saint Mathews Secondary School and, two computers and a printer to Boyo Secondary in Bumbuna
