On the 9th April 2026, PRIDE-SL team in company of the leadership of Action Aid-SL visited the Bo LRP to engage with community members on the status of the school in Lowuma and also collect messages from children on sponsorship program. Several relevant issues were highlighted by community members, amongst which are the unapproved status of the school which was built in 2006 with support from Action Aid-SL. The unapproved status of the school serves as a barrier to achieving children's academic growth. The issue of uncoded teachers undermines the retention of teachers within the community.
The message collection was all inclusive and participatory.
The leadership of Action Aid-SL and PRIDE-SL moved onto Bumbeh village in Kakua chiefdom for further assessment of the school. Similar issues from Lowuma were highlighted too.

Boycotting your constitutional roles due to party request and partisan ideology is a disservice to your conscience, nation and your voters.
This path followed by the main opposition in Sierra Leone is leading to a one party governance system; which is bad practice.
