Our Story
Motto: Education for All. Skills for Life.
🌍 From a Street Corner Mission to National Impact
Heart of Quest traces its beginnings to 2012, when our founder, Mr. Moses Success Kamara, began teaching and sensitizing youth while preaching the Gospel in Freetown’s slums. This grassroots mission quickly evolved into a formal initiative to empower the underserved through education and skills training.
In 2015, the organization was officially founded as “The Quest With Success International Quest Academy”, named after the CEO’s vision to inspire success from struggle. With just one classroom, we launched grassroots education campaigns across Sierra Leone’s most neglected communities.
By 2018, reflecting our broader vision and national ambition, we adopted the name Heart of Quest. Since then, we’ve trained over 2,000 children, youth, and adults—entirely free of charge—with an 85% job placement rate among our graduates.
❤️ Who We Are
We are a Sierra Leonean movement proving that education erases poverty. Our mission is fueled by a lived understanding of hardship, and a deep belief in second chances.
✅ Over 2,000 lives transformed since 2015
