The Tamba Abdulai Foundation is a grassroots nonprofit in Kono District, Sierra Leone, empowering girls and children through education, health awareness, and clean water — one uniform, one lamp, one classroom at a time.
The Tamba Abdulai Foundation (TAF) is a community based organization (CBO) founded in 2024 by Tamba Abdulai, a youth leader and alumnus of the Kennedy-Lugar Youth Exchange and Study (YES) Program.
After a transformative year studying in the United States, Tamba returned to Sierra Leone inspired by the power of education, determined to remove the barriers that keep children — especially girls — out of school.
