NATIONAL CAMPAIGN to SUPPORT CIBI
and OTHER INDEPENDENT AFRIKAN-CENTERED SCHOOLS
https://www.gofundme.com/SovereignEducation
There are a number of independent, Afrikan-Centered schools around the country. These schools are funded by tuition-paying parents who want a good education for their children. They want their children to have a culturally rich education that teaches them about their history and heritage.
Unfortunately, many of these schools are underfunded and under-supported. Over the years, many have CLOSED due to Lack of SUPPORT. While the cultural based schools have shown that their students perform higher than public school students, they have not been financially supported. Some parents are not able to pay for tuition either. You can make a difference. Help us raise scholarships for students and help us provide financial support to these schools.
All donations are appreciated. If possible, please make a monthly donation or create a group with friends or family to help fund a scholarship to support students in these sovereign schools.
The list of schools which we support are listed below.
THESE EXISTING SCHOOLS NEED YOUR DONATIONS AND SUPPORT!!!
AFRIKAN-CENTERED SCHOLARS AND LEADERS DO NOT RECOMMEND THAT YOU DONATE TO UN-VETTED NON-EXISTENT SCHOOLS!!!
This is only a partial list. Commit to a regular scheduled donating timeline such as weekly, monthly, every other month, etc. Also, please form donation collectives with friends and/or family if possible. These are existing schools that have sent culturally educated Black children to universities around the country for decades.
STEPS to SUPPORT the NATIONAL CAMPAIGN
1. FUNDS: Donate money to an existing Afrikan-Centered independent/sovereign school.
2. VOLUNTEER: Offer your time for class assistance, clerical duties, cleaning, construction, etc.
