Foison Mineral SL Ltd: A Beacon of Hope for Unpinned Teachers & Nurses in Tanenihun Mboka

In a time when many dedicated teachers and nurses in Sierra Leone have struggled due to the challenges of being unpinned, Foison Mineral SL Ltd has emerged as an unexpected yet profound source of relief. In Tanenihun Mboka, a humble yet vibrant community in Kongbora Chiefdom, Moyamba District, the mining giant is not only extracting minerals from the earth but also uplifting the very backbone of society—the educators and healthcare workers who serve selflessly.

Foison Mineral SL Ltd is no stranger to the people of Sierra Leone. The company has long been a household name in the mining industry, known for its extensive activities across the country. Now, as they expand their operations into Tanenihun Mboka, they are proving that their impact extends beyond mining—it reaches the heart of the community itself.

For years, unpinned teachers and nurses—those serving without being officially included in the government’s payroll—have faced financial hardship despite their unwavering commitment to their duties. Many have continued to teach in classrooms and care for the sick in clinics, hoping that one day their sacrifices would be recognized. Their resilience has been nothing short of heroic, but the burden of survival has been heavy.

Recognizing this plight, Foison has stepped in, not with mere words of promise, but with tangible financial support. By providing payments to these unpinned workers, the company is not only easing their struggles but also reaffirming their worth. The sight of relieved smiles on the faces of teachers who can now buy books for their students, or nurses who can now afford transportation to work without worry, is a testament to the power of corporate social responsibility done right.

This act of kindness is more than just a financial gesture—it is a restoration of dignity. It is a message to the community that their sacrifices are seen and valued. It is a reassurance that, even in times of hardship, there are entities that recognize the importance of education and healthcare as pillars of development.

As Foison continues its mining activities in Tanenihun Mboka, its engagement with the local community will be remembered not only for what it extracts but for what it gives back. In a nation striving for growth, such acts of compassion and responsibility are what truly build a better future.

For the teachers who shape young minds and the nurses who save lives, Foison has become more than a mining company—it has become a lifeline.
