For her pivotal contribution and provision of essential life-saving needs to the less privileged, thousands, locals in Marampa Chiefdom, Port Loko District, accorded a red-carpet welcome to Madam Ashmao Bangura, the CEO and founder of Emauni Foundation. The CEO also donated School materials to Pupils at the Marampa Agricultural Primary School.
Speaking to this medium, the CEO and founder of Emauni Foundation, Madam Ashmao Bangura, said the foundation has done incredibly well because they want to keep the young girl’s spirit, vision, and dream alive. She loves giving the little she must restore a smile on the faces of the less privileged. Madam Bangura stated that after Emauni Kadija Bangura passed away, she visited Marampa Village, her home of origin. During this visit, she discovers that the township doesn't have a school. She believes education is the greatest tool to unlock opportunities and eradicate poverty in the community. She built the Marie Hassan Primary School under the auspices of the foundation.
Emauni Foundation is a non-profit organization that has created a lot of impact and donated essential life savings needs to the less privileged for many decades.
The ideology for the inception of the organization was born after the demise of Emauni Kadija Bangura, an eight-year-old girl born in America with a godmother who was taking her along to Mexico to support children in orphanages. This act stimulates the milk of human kindness in her. On her first visit to Sierra Leone at Mega Town Community, she saw most of her colleagues walking barefooted; as a humanitarian at a tender age, she removed her shoes to showcase the spirit of equality with the less privileged. She joins them with gallons to the stream to fetch water. She met her untimely death days after her return to the United States of America. Her legacy is what the family decided to maintain.
Most times, kids were left at home helpless as their parents had no choice but to rush to the farm early in the morning to make ends meet. The conditions of these kids became a serious cause for concern for the CEO. Salvaging the condition of these helpless kids, the CEO, through the Emauni Foundation, built the Marie Hassan kindergarten preparatory school. During the rainy season, the kids encounter a lot during assembly. An assembly hall that contains a library and computer laboratory with fifty computers was erected. Today, school-going pupils in Marampa are being offered computer courses.
As a Muslim-dominant society, the Christians in Marampa village encounter challenges in doing their rite of worship, especially on Sundays. Wanting to see a community that is tolerant in terms of religion, the foundation built a church for them.
One thing that makes the Emauni Foundation taller than other charity Organizations is the provision of stipends to community teachers. Back in 2009, teachers found it challenging to stay in the village to teach. Year in and year out, teachers will be coming and going. Moving to big towns in search of greener pastures. The CEO, wanting to bring light to his people, took it as her business to pay all the Kindergarten to Secondary School community teachers.
Today, Marampa village has become the home of education because of the significant impact of the Emauni Foundation. The Foundation supplies kids with learning materials every academic year worth over ten thousand dollars in United States dollars. ($ 10,000) Ranging from school uniforms, bags, shoes, books, pencils, pens, etc., to create a level platform for the needy and less privileged learners.
The dream of an eight-and-a-half-year-old girl born and bred in America, Emauni Kadija Bangura, has transformed the lives of less privileged kids in Marampa Village. Emauni Foundation is worth reckoning for its impactful contributions and provision of essential life-saving needs to the needy.
