About Us

It started with a conversation that almost didn’t happen.

In June 2025, Charlie Kebbi arrived in Sierra Leone on a working visit—touring Makanie, Moyamba, Kenema, and beyond. The plan was clear: assess opportunities, gather insights, move on. But then Jeremiah Squire, a passionate community organizer in Bo, did what persistence does—he insisted that Charlie simply had to meet the people of Bo. Not because they needed charity, but because they were hungry. Hungry to learn, to build, to change their own futures.

Charlie was skeptical. Training groups outside his original plan wasn’t exactly on the agenda. But Jeremiah wouldn’t take no for an answer.

On June 23, 2025, Charlie showed up to a training session in Bo. What he found stopped him in his tracks: over 200 people. The energy was electric. Participants weren’t passive listeners—they were asking questions, sharing ideas, pushing back, engaging like their futures depended on it. Because they did. By the end of the day, something had shifted. People weren’t asking for a one-time training. They wanted more. Much more.

That’s when Jeremiah threw down the ambitious idea: What if we didn’t just do monthly sessions? What if we built a learning hub together—a real center where training happened every single week? A place where the community could keep learning, growing, building?.

Charlie hesitated. It wasn’t the plan. But he also recognized what he was seeing: genuine hunger for opportunity, real community momentum, a leader willing to make it work. He agreed—but only if the community believed in it enough to help build it. They didn’t wait.

With nine laptops, training materials, and collective effort, the Bo Hub launched on July 18, 2025 at 27 Jaka Street, Sheriff Town, Mendewa Section. Over 200 people showed up for the opening ceremony a signal that Bo was ready. Together, they selected 40 founding members as the core entrepreneurship cohort. But the real magic came next: the community itself stepped in. Modems appeared for internet access. Fans and refrigerators arrived to keep the space functional. Resources multiplied not through external funding, but through neighbors investing in neighbors.

Then something unstoppable happened. Schools started knocking on the door—not asking permission, but asking to join. Teachers and principals saw what was building and wanted their students to be part of it. What began as one ambitious hub became eight thriving school partnerships.

Today: The Two Pillars of the Bo Hub

That initial vision has crystallized into two powerful, interconnected pillars:
