The Jeneba Project was founded by two Senior Fellows: Joseph Kaifala and Liat Krawczyk. The project is dedicated to providing high-quality traditional and civic education in Sierra Leone. Concentrating on creating leaders by promoting knowledge and developing character each step of the way, the project has recently launched a crowdfunding campaign to enable a second cohort of an all-girls class in Sierra Leone.
