3 Additional Ways To Support Our New Campaign
This is a make or break year for the 24 Nuba teachers at our schools in Yida Refugee Camp. After all these years, Operation Broken Silence is still the only organization in the world that focuses exclusively on improving education here.
This crisis started encroaching on the two schools we sponsor in Yida throughout 2019. More teachers than ever before showed up hoping for a job. By year’s end, over 1,000 students had begged for an opening. The teachers at our schools had to turn them all away. The resources just weren't there to expand.
Our new campaign Do Justice is our response. A lack of teacher pay is central to the education crisis in Yida. The goal of Do Justice is straightforward: inspire 200 individuals and families to give monthly. This will shore up funding for the 24 teachers we support in Yida and pave the way for our schools to expand in 2021.
If this is the first time you are hearing about all of this, the best way to help is to start giving monthly right now. Even if all you can spare is $10, your giving will protect the progress these teachers have made against all odds.
We understand that only some of our supporters are in a position to give monthly right now. If you can’t give, here are three other ways you can fight back against this crisis:
1. Share On Social Media
You can share the Do Justice video online. Here are a few specific posts that you easily share with your friends and family:
Make sure you are following us so that you can easily share our progress in the coming weeks and months too! You can find direct links to our social media handles at the bottom of this post.
2. Sign Up For Our Email List
We send out one or two emails a week. At the end of each month, we send a newsletter that includes important stories from Sudan. This is a fantastic way to get the information you need. Everyone from our supporters to Congressional staffers are already signed up!
You can also forward our emails to friends and family to raise awareness about Sudan. Quite a few of our supporters do that. It’s a really effective way to help!
3. Start A Campaign
Finally, if you’re stuck at home due to the coronavirus pandemic, you probably have a little free time. You can start a fundraising page for the teachers in Yida and ask your friends and family to give!
This is the best way to directly support the teachers without anything coming out of your wallet. Most of our supporters can raise $100 in 10 minutes. That’s money we can get to the schools in Yida right now as we keep focusing on reaching our Do Justice goal! Every little bit helps.
I hope you are staying safe and healthy. Our team is thinking about all of you as we work from home.
Feel free to reach out to us if you have questions. Talk to you soon.
Onward,
