NEW YORK, USA: – The TAMBA AGHAILAS Foundation's mission is to “Inspire and Empower a New Generation” of leaders through education, capacity building, and innovation.
It's Founder, an Author, Advocate, and Philanthropist, has dedicated his life to advocacy for refugees and disenfranchised minority groups.
A few months ago, KissiTV founder and CEO, Raphael Faya Tolno, also commonly known as Rapha-El, reached out to his mentor and the Founder of the Tamba Aghailas Foundation to request assistance and support to replace video editing equipment stolen during a work trip to the township of Gueckedou, in the Forest Region of Guinea, Conakry, where his network’s equipment were stolen by some criminals. The individuals are currently behind bars after their arrest by local authorities.

"...these criminals stole all [their] properties (kissi-Tv) at Makona program, which caused the station to shut down for a while,” Joe Kelly, a loyal supporter of the network lamented via facebook.
Mr. Aghailas, who spent 10 years as a refugee in Guinea in the 1990s and who continues to champion leadership development of young emerging leaders, made a commitment to come to the aid of the KissiTV family.
This month (April 2022), Mr. Aghailas made good on his pledge and donated a MacBook laptop on behalf of his organization and also additional financial assistance to support the work of these young emerging leaders.
He also made a short video appeal (speaking in both Kissi and English) to supporters around the world to come to the assistance of KissiTV as well to support the work of the Foundation that is championing the economic rights and empowerment of young people.
