The Samuel Baker Fund: Bridging the Gap in Education

Raised

Goal
$25,200

The Samuel Baker Fund is a scholarship fund started in memory of the Late Samuel Baker, who tragically passed away on December 28th, 2018. Sam was a founding member of iDebate and worked tirelessly to impact his community.

To honor his legacy, we started a fund that would sponsor 400 students to attend the Dreamers Academy, a project Sam was deeply passionate about.

The Dreamers Academy Camp, an initiative launched in 2013, has evolved into a transformative platform where students from Rwanda and the East African Region immerse themselves in the art of discourse. Beyond debate, the camp nurtures leadership, critical thinking, and exposure to coding, creative writing, and S.A.T. prep disciplines.

We are hoping to sponsor 400 students this year, which means we have to raise 32,000,000 RWF, which equals $25,200.

Every contribution brings us closer to our goal of sponsoring 400 students and keeping Sam's legacy of community impact alive. Choose your desired level of impact below:

  1. Diamond Donor (15 Students) - $945

  2. Platinum Donor (10 Students) - $630

  3. Gold Donor (5 Students) - $315

  4. Silver Donor (2 Students) - $126

By donating to this cause, you are supporting 400 students, especially from public schools, and investing in a transformative experience with a lasting impact on individuals and communities. Together, we can address the critical need for 21st-century skills in African youth, contributing to a brighter future for our continent. Join us in shaping the future of young minds and fostering positive societal change by donating to this cause and keeping Sam's legacy alive.

    Having personally witnessed the magic that happens at the Dreamers Academy Camp, I can attest to its impact. Students become the leaders they are capable of and an entire region of the continent becomes as strong as it can be.
