At Sport For Empowerment Foundation Sierra Leone (SFEF), we believe that true leaders inspire through discipline, respect, honesty, and service. Our actions must speak louder than our words, both on and off the pitch. When we lead by example, we empower young people to become responsible leaders, promote peace, embrace education, and build a better future for our communities.”

Sport For Empowerment Foundation Sierra Leone Announces the Appointment of Peter Borboh Kargbo as Global Ambassador

Makeni, Sierra Leone | 9 October 2026

Sport for Empowerment Foundation (SFEF) is pleased to announce the appointment of Kargbo as the Global Ambassador for Education, Sport, and Youth Empowerment.

This appointment underscores the Foundation’s dedication to leveraging education and sport as strategic tools for youth development, social inclusion, peacebuilding, and community transformation.

Prior to his appointment, Kargbo actively supported SFEF’s mission to inspire youth, promote educational opportunities, encourage participation in sports, and cultivate responsible future leaders.

He has provided sporting equipment and financial assistance to communities around Makeni in northern Sierra Leone, where he initially engaged in educational and athletic development. His early life was marked by involvement with the Craig Bellamy Foundation in Tombo, which facilitated his transition to higher education in the United States.

In the United States, he attended Dunn High School, excelling in both academics and sports. He subsequently enrolled at Boston University, earning a Master’s degree with a minor in Applied Human Development. He further pursued a second Master's degree in Hospitality Administration/Management.

The Foundation maintains that sport extends beyond competition; it imparts discipline, teamwork, respect, leadership, and resilience. When integrated with education, sport has the potential to empower young people to overcome challenges and make meaningful societal contributions.

SFEF anticipates strengthening existing partnerships and creating additional opportunities for children and youth, particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds.

In response to his appointment, Kargbo stated:

“I am honoured and grateful for this opportunity. I look forward to giving back to the community and advancing our shared mission."

SFEF Foundation congratulates Kargbo on his appointment and is committed to pursuing its objectives through continued collaboration.

Empowering Youth Through Education and Sport.

Our dreams are finally becoming reality as we commence the construction of our partnership school in Freetown, which will actively foster the development of young people through education and sport. This project has been a long-standing vision, and we persisted despite uncertainties and challenges in securing funding and support for this ambitious goal.

We are thrilled to announce that the project is now underway.

Although we have not yet reached the finish line, we are taking decisive first steps by initiating the work and are committed to creating a lasting impact that aligns with our mission to develop human capacity through education and sports programs.

Happening now at Makeni Mena Hills where Sport For Empowerment Foundation Sierra Leone conducts its sport training for children in the neighbouring communities from Monday to Friday, with a Saturday schedule for matches.

Today is a remarkable day as we provide training jerseys and training equipment to our technical team and children from U 10 to U 20.

These developments are being made possible by Ed Win of vv Dubbeldam and its members who have been providing us with sport equipment to support our education and sport development programs across Makeni and Sierra Leone.

These are some of the brightest ones that we will look up to help develop Sierra Leone as they progress in their education and sport development.

The work we do is deeply meaningful to the children we serve.

This was an incredibly heartfelt moment of gratitude from the children, coaches, and team members of Sport For Empowerment Foundation Sierra Leone Makeni branch.
The coaches organised this transformative moment, without my knowledge and each child contributing to creating a historic milestone in our ongoing journey of nurturing better individuals through education and sport.

This moment moved me to tears of joy, as it stands as one of the most impactful experiences in my journey of empowering young people through education and sport.

What touches me most about this initiative is the children’s genuine belief in bringing happiness and hope, which lights up my spirit.

The core idea and philosophy of Ubuntu—"A person is a person because of other people"—are vividly reflected in the love, respect, and community our children and team demonstrate in our work.

Our human identity, thoughts, and abilities are profoundly shaped through the connections we forge with others.

With the pervasive issue of drug abuse devastating the lives of young people across Sierra Leone, the Say No To Drugs & Say No To Violence Campaign—led by Abubakarr Mustapha Sillah, also known as Ivorian Silas, and Mamadu Borboh Barrie from the Borboh Barrie & Ivorian Sillah Foundation, in collaboration with their partners in the UK—organised a generous donation of Arsenal football kits to Sport For Empowerment Foundation Sierra Leone, in partnership with Arsenal Global Family.

This initiative is a vital part of their ongoing efforts to combat drug use and violence among children involved in sports activities, aiming to promote safe and healthy environments for youth development.
The foundation's dedicated Freetown team attended the official equipment presentation in Makeni, a key city in northern Sierra Leone.

The accompanying video vividly captures the event's proceedings in Makeni, showcasing the community's engagement and the significance of this intervention in strengthening youth resilience against substance abuse and violence.
