Freetown Secondary School For Girls (FSSG) Ex-Pupil’s Association UK (FSSgians UK) is the UK branch of a global group of ex-pupils of the Freetown Sec school for Girls in Freetown, Sierra Leone.
Fssgians UK was the brainchild of Leonora Davies.
The association was founded in 1985 by members who wanted to play an active role in supporting the school, teachers, and pupils in Freetown.
Their dream was to “Give back to the school as a show of appreciation for the Education and nurturing they received.”
The founding members were:
- Dr. Leonora Davies
- Elizabeth Atere-Roberts nee Phillott
- Bishop Hannah Faal-Heim
- Bosede Barber (deceased)
- Femi Claudius-Cole
- Henrietta Jackson nee Clement
- Juanita Luke
- Blanche Cassell
- Mildred Pratt nee George
- Hawa Tejan-Cole
- Gladys Vincent
- Elfrida King
As membership increased, the association has undertaken various fundraising events with proceeds going to the school towards providing books for the library, equipment for the Science laboratory, scholarship for pupils, salary for teachers, and most recently, total repair of the school roof and refurbishment of some classrooms.
