The USIU-Africa Month of giving that kicked off on June 22 has seen encouraging participation from the University community network through generous contributions. The donations realized will allow students to continue with their studies that are delivered remotely through the Learning Management System, Blackboard. In addition, financially constrained students will be able to receive scholarship grants, enabling them to continue with their education uninterrupted.

There has been significant involvement from various stakeholders within the USIU-Africa community. Students, staff, faculty, alumni, parents and the leadership have even come together, appealing to their respective constituents to take part in this noble cause through the hashtag #EducateYourOwn. You can find the campaign videos from staff and alumni by visiting the links: www.youtube.com/watch?v=A2k-sFgkGMk and www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2d5Rqrl2xE&t=4s.
