McGill African Students Society Fundraiser

The McGill African Students Society is a club whose mandate is to promote and present the diverse and rich African cultures to the McGill community and the greater Montreal area. We are a diverse group of students who are not solely African but who are passionate about African-oriented topics. We host a range of events each semester that target different facets of African culture and life. We hope to spread knowledge and inspire passion about African culture and issues both on and off campus.

Over the last few months, there have been a number of crises and movements unfolding on the African continent. Among them are the EndSars movement in Nigeria, the Anglophone Crisis in Cameroon, issues of gender based violence in Namibia, child trafficking in Côte d'Ivoire and more. 

MASS is organizing this fundraiser to donate to grassroots organizations doing the work to create a better Africa tomorrow. We will donate half of the money raised to Kids of Tomorrow Foundation  which is an organization based in Cameroon that sets out to provide children who have been orphaned and displaced by the anglophone crisis with access to shelter, food and education. We will donate the other half to Club Africain des Petits Dejeuners  which is an organization that sets out to provide children in various African countries with meals, provide women with jobs and create solidarity projects in partnership with schools and communities.

We encourage you all to not only share and donate to our fundraiser but also to do your research and inform yourselves about the crises happening on the African continent and ways that you can help.

Our fundraiser will run until January 15th. We hope that you will be able to participate by donating or even sharing the fundraiser. There is no minimum amount of donation, anything is appreciated.
