The Journey of Tabital Pulaaku in Sierra Leone
Founded in 2020 from a desire to preserve our cultural identity and build a stronger future, the story of TP SL is one of resilience, foresight, and unity.
Our Origins
The story of Tabital Pulaaku in Sierra Leone is a story of resilience, foresight, and unity. Founded in 2020, our chapter emerged from a desire to create a formal structure that could preserve our unique cultural identity while fostering peaceful integration. We are the Sierra Leonean pillar of the global Tabital Pulaaku International (TPI) movement, which serves as an umbrella for Fulbe communities worldwide. Inspired by this international bond, our founders envisioned a platform that would unite all Fulbe in Sierra Leone under the common goals of mutual support and cultural preservation, while maintaining strong ties with our brothers and sisters across Africa and the diaspora.
The founding vision
“A formal home for every Fulbe in Sierra Leone — preserving our identity, supporting our people, and keeping us bound to the global Pulaaku family.”
