In a remarkable display of generosity and commitment to education, renowned humanitarian and dedicated member of the Sierra Leone People's Party (SLPP), Hon.Alhaji Musa Tarawallie,  donated Le 30,000 to the District Educational Council (DEC) Primary School in Constituency 045 within Fadugu, Kabala District. The donation, made on Wednesday, March 5, 2025, is specifically aimed at constructing a protective fence around the school, addressing a critical safety concern for its pupils.

The DEC Primary School is situated dangerously close to the bustling Fadugu-Kabala Highway, exposing young learners to potential accidents as they navigate their way to and from school. Recognizing the urgent need to enhance student safety, Hon. Alhaji Musa Tarawallie took the initiative to provide the necessary funds for this essential infrastructure. The construction of the fence will serve as a safeguard, ensuring that children can focus on their studies in a secure environment, free from external risks.

Expressing her heartfelt gratitude, the Headmistress of DEC Primary School, Madam Juliet Conteh, lauded Alhaji Musa Tarawalie’s benevolent gesture. She described the donation as a historic milestone for the school, noting that previous efforts to secure funding for a protective fence had been unsuccessful. With this financial support, she assured that construction would commence promptly, with a dedicated committee set to oversee the project’s smooth implementation.

The official handing-over ceremony was conducted by the Chairman of Constituency 045, Alhaji Wurie Bah, a representative of the SLPP, who reaffirmed the party’s commitment to supporting local communities and prioritizing education. He emphasized that ensuring the safety and well-being of schoolchildren aligns with the broader vision of national development.

DEC Primary School holds significant historical value, having nurtured many prominent individuals, including the late S.B. Marah, who later served as a teacher at the school. Established in 1950, the school has been a beacon of knowledge and transformation in the region. With the addition of this protective fence, its legacy of producing future leaders is further secured.

Alhaji Musa Tarawalie’s philanthropic contribution underscores his unwavering dedication to education and community development. His generosity has not only addressed an urgent infrastructural need but has also inspired hope among students, teachers and parents alike. As construction begins, the people of Fadugu celebrate a leader whose actions continue to positively impact lives, ensuring a safer and brighter future for the next generation.
