As part of its unwavering commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility and community development, Foison Resources SL Limited has successfully distributed school bags and essential learning materials to pupils across several schools within its concession areas. The three-day exercise, held from 23rd to 25th September 2025, was warmly welcomed by pupils, teachers, local authorities, and community stakeholders.

The distribution began on 23rd September at the District Education Committee (DEC) School in Semabu Village, Sogbini Chiefdom, Bonthe District. Upon arrival, the Foison team was received by the Head Teacher and key community stakeholders. In a heartfelt address, the Head Teacher expressed profound gratitude, noting that this was the first time in the school’s history such a gesture had been made. Every pupil received a school bag and a package of learning materials, sparking visible joy among both students and teachers.

On 24th September, the exercise continued at Mosavi Primary School and Gendenma Primary School in Jong Chiefdom, Bonthe District. This phase was conducted in collaboration with a representative from the Ministry of Basic and Senior Secondary Education, alongside the Section Chief and Town Chiefs of the two communities.

The Ministry’s representative acknowledged the pressing challenges in the education sector, particularly the shortage of teaching and learning materials. He commended Foison’s timely intervention, describing it as a valuable complement to the government’s efforts and a clear demonstration of meaningful corporate engagement.

The final day of distribution on 25th September took place at NYFA Primary School in Taninihun Village, Kongbora Chiefdom, Moyamba District. The event brought together the Section Chief, Town Chief, Head Teacher, and other local stakeholders. During the visit, the Foison team engaged directly with the school and community leaders to communicate the purpose of the initiative. Once again, the gesture was warmly received, with pupils and educators expressing sincere appreciation for Foison’s continued investment in education and community growth.

Across all three days, a unifying theme resonated—the smiles on the children’s faces and the heartfelt gratitude of teachers and community leaders. The initiative not only provided vital educational resources but also reinforced Foison’s relationship with its host communities, underscoring the company’s role as a trusted and responsible development partner.
