Karpowership has been formally recognized by the Sierra Leone Association of Journalists (SLAJ) with a Certificate of Appreciation, acknowledging the company’s meaningful contributions to media development and journalism in Sierra Leone. The award was presented during SLAJ’s official transition ceremony between outgoing and incoming executive members, held at the Bintumani Conference Centre in Aberdeen, Freetown.
While globally known for delivering reliable power through its innovative floating power plants, Karpowership’s impact in Sierra Leone extends well beyond electricity generation. Since commencing operations in the country in 2018 the company has consistently demonstrated a strong commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), earning the respect of communities and institutions alike.
SLAJ commended Karpowership not only for its pivotal role in Sierra Leone’s energy sector but also for its support toward a vibrant and independent media. The Association cited the company’s contributions in promoting public access to information, defending press freedom and enabling informed civic dialogue as key reasons for the honour.
In addition to its media-focused initiatives, Karpowership has been actively engaged in direct community support. Ahead of the recent Eid ul Adha celebrations, the company distributed food items to World Hope International and residents across eleven communities in the Freetown area, including Kingtom, Brookfields, Kanikay and Waterloo. These efforts underline Karpowership’s dedication to strengthening the social fabric of the communities in which it operates.
The Management, in response to the recognition, expressed appreciation to SLAJ, reaffirming Karpowership’s belief that access to energy and information are both essential to sustainable national development. “Our mission goes beyond delivering megawatts. We are deeply committed to making a lasting impact in the lives of the people we serve through community development, media support and partnerships that drive progress.”
The recognition from SLAJ positions Karpowership not just as a key energy provider but as a valued partner in national development, playing a dual role in powering homes and empowering voices. With the company’s ongoing evolution in operations and CSR initiatives it reflects a steadfast commitment to strengthening both national infrastructure and public discourse. https://thecalabashnewspaper.com/karpowership-bags-slaj-award-for-support-to-media-development/
