As part of our ongoing commitment to youth empowerment and educational support, at One Love Salone Foundation, we embark on a nationwide campus visitation tour across the ten selected universities in Sierra Leone. These visits are not just ceremonial, they are deeply rooted in our mission to stay connected, listen actively, and reaffirm our support to the students we serve; to strengthen bonds, inspire progress, and remind every student/beneficiaries that we are walking this journey together across the ten selected universities in Sierra Leone.
The One Love Salone Foundation’s campus visitation program for students under the scholarship scheme is an initiative aimed at monitoring progress by tracking the academic progress and well-being of scholarship recipients, providing support through guidance, mentorship, and support to students and as well as building relationship between the foundation, administrators and students thereby fostering a sense of community and connection between the foundation and its scholars.
“Our students are the heartbeat of Sierra Leone’s future. Visiting them on campus is our way of saying: We believe in you, and we’re here for the long haul.” One Love Salone Foundation
By engaging directly with our beneficiaries on their campuses, we create space for meaningful dialogue, mentorship, and feedback. These interactions allow us to better understand their academic journeys, personal challenges, and aspirations. It’s a chance to celebrate their progress, offer encouragement, and ensure that our interventions remain relevant and impactful.
“At One Love Salone Foundation, we believe that presence matters. Showing up for our students on their turf, in their learning environments is a powerful way to say: We see you. We support you. We’re walking this journey with you’’ One Love Salone Foundation
The campus visitations also foster a sense of community, continuity accountability to the scheme we provide to our beneficiaries. They remind students that they are not alone in the academic journey, that behind every scholarship or support package is a network of people who believe in their potential and are invested in their success. Through these engagements, we aim to build lasting relationships, inspire leadership, and cultivate a culture of excellence that extends beyond the classroom.
We also explore the importance of coordination, collaborative action, and the role of existing beneficiaries, in helping to educate and popularize the scholarship program to other potential students, who are also looking for similar opportunity in the field of education.
The One Love Salone Foundation’s campus visitation program for students under the scholarship scheme is a valuable initiative that provides support, guidance, and mentorship to deserving students. By monitoring progress, providing support, and building relationships, the program contributes to the overall success of the scholarship scheme and empowers students to achieve their academic and career goals.
The program’s impact extends beyond academic support, fostering a sense of community and promoting personal growth among students. As the foundation continues to implement its programs, the campus visitation initiative is likely to play a significant role in shaping the lives of students and contributing to Sierra Leone’s development.
The students extended their heartfelt gratification to the management of the One Love Foundation, for providing sponsorship opportunity to them, and assured the Foundation of an extraordinary performance throughout their academic pursuits.
“When we show up on campus, we’re not just checking in, we’re building trust, celebrating progress, and reaffirming our commitment to every student’s journey. That’s why we visit, listen, and walk alongside our students.”
