In a heartwarming demonstration of corporate goodwill and community partnership, Foison Resources SL Limited has once again proven that responsible business goes beyond profit-making. On 05/05/2025, the company made a significant donation of a 50 KVA generator to the Matru School of Nursing in the Bonthe District, reinforcing its commitment to supporting the health and education sectors through sustainable and impactful development initiatives.

This generous act, part of Foison’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) program, comes at a time when the school faced persistent power supply challenges that hindered effective teaching, learning, and clinical practice. The 50 KVA generator is expected to provide stable electricity to the institution, facilitating access to modern learning tools, preserving medical supplies in the school’s clinic, and enabling students to study in a more conducive environment.

The Matru School of Nursing has long served as a beacon of knowledge and hope for many aspiring nurses in the southern region of Sierra Leone. With limited resources, the school has managed to train health professionals who go on to serve in communities across the country, often in the most remote and underserved areas.

However, the lack of reliable electricity had become a major obstacle—affecting everything from lectures and digital learning to the functionality of critical laboratory equipment. Foison’s donation is not just the gift of a generator; it is the gift of light, opportunity, and improved healthcare outcomes for the future.

While the company is primarily engaged in mineral exploration and mining activities, the company is increasingly being recognized for its people-centered approach to development. The donation to the nursing school underscores Foison’s broader mission—to contribute meaningfully to the communities in which it operates.

“This is not just about mining. It’s about making lives better,” said a Foison representative at the official handover ceremony. “We recognize that education and healthcare are pillars of any thriving society. By supporting institutions like the Matru School of Nursing, we are investing in the future of Sierra Leone.”

The donation has sparked optimism not only among students and staff of the nursing school but throughout the Bonthe District. Community leaders, school administrators, and local government officials hailed Foison’s gesture as an exemplary act of corporate citizenship.

“This generator is a blessing,” said the Principal of the Matru School of Nursing. “Our students can now study without interruption. We can use digital resources. Our practical sessions will no longer be at the mercy of blackouts. We thank FOISON for standing with us.”

In a time when corporate entities are often judged solely by their business outcomes, Foison is setting a higher standard—one that places people and purpose at the center of its operations. Through this and other initiatives, the company is steadily building trust, goodwill, and long-term partnerships with local communities.

This generator will not only power classrooms and laboratories; it will power dreams, restore hope, and deepen the connection between industry and society.

With this act of kindness, Foison Resources SL Limited has sent a powerful message: true development happens when companies and communities walk hand in hand. By investing in education and empowering local institutions, Foison is not just lighting buildings—it is lighting futures.
