Mohamed Fatu Kargbo

I am an electrical engineer and educator from Makeni, Northern Province, Sierra Leone, with extensive experience in lecturing electrical engineering principles, workshop technology, and technical drawing at the Sierra Leone Opportunities Industrialization Center (SLOIC). I have taught at the National Technical Certificate and National Diploma levels, accredited by the National Council for Technical, Vocational, and Other Academic Awards (NCTVA). Beyond my academic roles, I am actively involved in community development through media, hosting a local radio program where I advises youths and elders on regenerative futures via electronics and media. I had over a decade of professional experience in mobile phone repair, domestic electrical installations, and maintenance of electrical appliances.

I am passionate about environmental sustainability, having initiated a local petition and project focused on managing broken screens and liquid crystal displays (LCDs) from electronic devices to stop harmful chemicals from polluting the soil and water in Sierra Leone. My dedication also extends to empowering young girls in science and engineering, currently volunteering as an Engineering Science and Physics tutor at Saint Joseph Senior Secondary School Makeni.

In addition to my practical and teaching work, I have completed a 5-month Collective Trauma-Informed Leadership Course through the C+ Pocket Project, enhancing my leadership capabilities in community and environmental projects. I strives to create sustainable employment for youth and advocates for a clean environment free from electronic waste hazards, combining my technical knowledge with community activism and education to support Sierra Leone's future.
