Educating Africa for self-reliance.
Hakeem Schools are co-educational primary schools located in the poorest areas of Sierra Leone's capital city, Freetown. In English the name means 'Schools of Wisdom'. We are building a vibrant educational and training-based community. Hakeem Schools has been built on the joint principles of capacity development and community empowerment. This means we provide a hand-up not a hand-out, and we work with and not for communities.
- Build and operate schools to meet community needs for education for wisdom and self-sufficiency.
- Enable productive and sustainable community-based economic development, to reduce the reliance on hand-outs.
- Promote civic participation and independence.
We believe in the transformative impact of education and we aim to provide high-quality education for those who need it the most, so they can develop themselves and change the communities where they live...
