Urban Youth Initiative Project, Inc. hasn't added a story.
Hello,
My name is Imhotep Fatiu. I am the Executive Director of Urban Youth Initiative Project, Inc. A Baltimore-based 501 (c) (3) tax-exempt youth organization with a mission to empower African American youth, through exposure to, and the study of, African History and Culture. My dream is to build an independent school: Sankofa Institute of Enhanced Learning, LLC (SIEL). SIEL will be an independent school for African American children ages 6--10.
The mission of SIEL is to maximize educational development and provide for the holistic needs, of African American children. SIEL's ultimate vision is to create a vibrant and high functioning educational institution specializing in the holistic development of African American children. Essentially, cultivating all areas of personhood will be the primary concern of SIEL. Building this school is the principal reason why I'm launching this fundraiser and I need your help to make this dream a reality.
I am fundraising to purchase and renovate a Baltimore city-owned dilapidated building. Once acquired, I will renovate and transform the building into a small independent educational facility for African American ages 6--10. I can not do this by myself, I need your help. Will you donate to my fundraiser? I believe all good deeds are rewarded. I am optimistic and have faith that my dream will become a reality. The fact of the matter is the educational system in Baltimore City is not educating African American children. Something has to be done. An educational alternative has to be created. Rather than complain about it, I resolved to do something about it. Acquiring and renovating this building to build a school for African American children is my resolution. It's is going cost $100,000, of which I have raised $20,000. This is why my goal for this fundraiser is $80,000. With your help, I will reach this goal. Will you help me build a school? Please consider donating to my fundraiser.
