Hundreds of Scholarships Awarded
Tegloma is proud to uphold the moral responsibility of supporting education through its Scholarship Committee. Thanks to the generous voluntary contributions from our members, we have been able to award hundreds of scholarships to deserving students across primary, secondary, and tertiary institutions in Sierra Leone. These awards are granted based on academic excellence and financial need, reflecting our commitment to fostering educational opportunities for all.
We Extend Hands During Emergencies
During the Ebola crisis in Sierra Leone, our organization, being the largest and best organized Sierra Leonean organization in the diaspora, was the first to come to the aid of government and healthcare workers by providing containers of medical equipment and supplies including Personal Protective Equipment (PPEs) to help contain the deadly virus from the country.
Health & social Programs
Since its inception, Tegloma has been dedicated to improving health and wellbeing. The organization supplies crucial medicines, medical equipment, and supplies to clinics and hospitals across Sierra Leone, facilitating disease treatment and prevention initiatives. Furthermore, Tegloma is actively addressing early marriages and teenage pregnancies by providing family planning resources and educational support to young girls. Our impactful work fosters healthier communities and empowers the next generation.
During the hike of the civil war in Sierra Leone, we helped fleeing Sierra Leonean refugees with clean drinking water wells and pit latrines in refugee camps in Guinea. These efforts helped to minimize or stop communicable and water-borne diseases from affecting an-already suffering population.
What We Did During The Mudslide in 2017
On August 14, 2017 when the deadly mudslide incident occurred in the Regent area of Freetown, the capital of Sierra Leone that killed almost 1,000 people, Tegloma again was there to help survivals and families of victims of the disaster. Our organization helped with household utensils, blankets and other needed items. These items were donated by members just when the incident occurred.
