WELCOME

We, the descendants of the Koroma lineage, recognizing the need to foster unity, preserve our heritage, and support one another, do hereby establish this Constitution for the Koroma Descendants' Organization (KoDO). This Organization shall serve as a platform for the promotion of our shared values, culture, and development, rooted in the lineage and heritage of the worldwide Koroma Descendants.
Historical Background
The Koroma lineage traces its origins to West Africa, with roots deeply embedded in the former Mali Empire, also known as the Mandi Empire. The Koromas are closely connected to the Mandinka tribes of Mali. Following the disintegration of the Mandi Empire, the Koromas migrated to various parts of West Africa, including Sierra Leone, Liberia, Guinea, Gambia, and Senegal. Over time, they have spread across the globe, establishing a worldwide presence.
The Koromas have a storied history marked by significant contributions to their communities and nations. In Sierra Leone, Liberia, Guinea, and beyond, the Koromas have been renowned for their roles as Islamic scholars, educators, and community leaders. They prepared warriors for battlefields, instilling discipline and resilience, and played pivotal roles in the socio-economic development of their communities. Known for their contributions to business, farming, and local and national politics, the Koromas have had a lasting impact on the fabric of society. Notably, one of their descendants served as the President of Sierra Leone from 2008 to 2017, exemplifying their influence and leadership.
Over generations, the Koroma forefathers have been described as scholars, warriors, and visionaries. They championed education, promoted peace and unity, and laid the groundwork for the prosperity of their descendants. Today, the Koroma Descendants' Organization seeks to honor this rich heritage, ensuring that the legacy of our forefathers continues to inspire and unite us.
