I have loved seeing iDebate bloom from the start! A truly revolutionary labour of love for Rwanda’s youngsters 💪🏾

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.

The Samuel Baker Fund: Bridging the Gap in Education 

As I celebrate my graduation, I’m reflecting on the journey that brought me here—and it all started with iDebate’s Dreamers Academy. Years ago, that camp gave me the confidence to find my voice, step boldly into new spaces, and believe in my potential.

Now, I want to pass that gift forward.

In honor of this milestone, I’m raising **$3,500 USD to sponsor 50 young Rwandans** to attend the Dreamers Academy camp. These camps aren't just about public speaking; they're about building leaders, thinkers, and changemakers.

Your support will open doors for youth who are full of potential but need a space that believes in them.

**Let’s change 50 lives together.**Let’s give them wings to dream, to lead, and to transform their communities—and beyond.

When a young person finds their voice, the world gets a little louder with hope.
