$800 Changes Everything

Right now, a brilliant Black student - in the U.S., the Caribbean, Europe, or Africa, can’t afford the $800 they need for college in Africa.

They are top of their class. They could cure diseases, build businesses, lead nations. But without $800, their dream of studying in Africa dies.


Your donation doesn’t just pay tuition. It creates unstoppable leaders.

One YBM student graduates with:


✓ University degree (4 years in Africa)

✓ Operating business (already earning money!)

✓ Life skills: ASL, music, art, plumbing, investing

✓ Zero debt


Traditional scholarship: Degree + hope for a job

Your $800: Degree + business + skills + financial freedom

“I was 20, home for 3 years after high school. No money for college. No hope.

I tried learning trades, looked for anything. Every day I wondered if my dreams were dead.

Then a donor sent me to university in Africa.


Now I’m in Year 4 studying Accounting and launching SmartShop - the first student marketplace platform in Nigeria. Students across Africa will use it to buy, sell, and trade.


One $800 donation took me from hopeless to building something that serves tens of thousands.

I’ll graduate debt-free with a business and a future I thought was impossible.”

— Akinsola, Age 24, Accounting Major, Founder of SmartShop
