<div>Orisa Lifestyle Academy: Building Our First School in Africa
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>For over 20 years, the Orisa Lifestyle Academy has enriched the lives of children and families across the United States by teaching the values, history, and wisdom of Yoruba tradition.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Now, to celebrate two decades of dedication, we are bringing this vision home—to Abeokuta, Nigeria, the ancestral seat of Yoruba culture. We are proud to announce the nearly completed construction of the first Orisa Lifestyle Academy campus in Africa.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This milestone is only possible because of the generous support of our global community, who have already contributed more than $19,000 toward this dream. With your continued support, we will open the doors of the Abeokuta campus and create a permanent home for cultural exchange, education, and service.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Why This Matters
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Authentic Immersion: Students from the diaspora will study abroad in Abeokuta, experiencing Yoruba culture in its living environment.
</div>
<div>Service Learning: Our programs combine academic study with real-world community service ensuring students both learn from and give back to the local orisa community.
</div>
<div>Stronger Ties: By assigning skilled African Americans to share practical knowledge, we strengthen bonds of brotherhood and sisterhood while honoring and uplifting isese tradition.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>How You Can Help
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your donation directly supports the completion and sustainability of the Abeokuta campus. Every contribution brings us closer to:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li>Finalizing classrooms, housing, and cultural spaces.
</li>
<li>Equipping the school with resources for high-quality instruction.
</li>
<li>Launching the first international study-abroad sessions for Orisa students.
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This is more than a building—it is the foundation of a movement. Together, we are preserving Yoruba culture, empowering future generations, and building a legacy that will last for centuries.
