Today I was absolutely thrilled to commission the Kroo Bay Municipal Primary School, constructed with funding from Sustain for Life and with support from Freetown City Council. The project was implemented by the #SierraLeoneAutisticSociety.
The school is built on the site of a former community center, where a single room had previously served as a makeshift school, but the location faced frequent flooding challenges. The two-story school building features 10 classrooms, a computer room, a staff room, toilets, and a canteen. With a capacity to accommodate 300 pupils, 180 pupils have already enrolled. The school project aligns with FCC’s Transform Freetown – Transforming Lives 2024-2028 Development Plan, under the Human Capital Development cluster, which focuses on enhancing early childhood development, basic education, and skills training. It also supports FCC’s broader transformative agenda for upgrading informal settlements.
