iDebate is one of the most important organizations operating in the 21st century. Their work is essential in raising the next generation of leaders and is ushering in the democratic and peaceful future we all desire. 

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.

By donating to this cause, you are supporting students who can not afford to pay for the Dreamers Academy Camp, 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.

DREAMERS ACADEMY CAMP 2024

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.




Help a Dreamer Find Their Voice

For my birthday this year, I’m giving back to a cause that’s been close to my heart for years- Dreamers Academy by iDebate Rwanda.

It’s a camp where young people discover their voice, gain confidence, and learn how to think for themselves - skills that stay with them for life. I’ve seen how powerful this program can be.

My goal is to raise **$1,200** to sponsor **15 students**.

If you believe in investing in young voices, I’d love your support. No amount is too small. Even sharing this link helps.

Let’s give the next generation a platform to grow and lead. 

Thank you for being part of this with me 💛

iDebate Rwanda started in 2012 with 100 students and a simple belief: that young Rwandans have something powerful to say when given the chance. Thirteen years later, over 12,000 students across 220 schools have built confidence, critical thinking, and leadership skills through our programs. 530 volunteers carry this mission forward every year because they've seen what happens when a young person finds their voice for the first time. 98% of Dreamers Academy Camp participants report increased confidence within one week. Every dollar goes directly to reaching the next student who's waiting for that chance.
