Empowering Generations Through Education
In this inspiring episode of Because People Matter, host Dr. Helen Fagan sits down with Gibril Mansaray, founder and CEO of the PA Karim Memorial Foundation. Gibril shares his powerful multigenerational story — from his father’s journey from Sierra Leone to the U.S. in pursuit of education, to his own mission of building schools and opportunities in his family’s village. Through his work with Develop Africa, he’s transforming lives and proving that education is the key to lasting empowerment.
Listen as Gibril reflects on resilience, purpose, and the bridge between two worlds—and how one act of generosity decades ago sparked a movement to educate hundreds of children.
