Food Justice: At Cultural Bridge we know that without food nothing can move forward. As an organization we have seen firsthand in many schools and communities there is a great need for food. For this reason, food-access is a major focus here at Cultural Bridge and we plan to build a large enough kitchen to effectively provide food to Africans in need in each of the communities we are involved with.
Accessible Education: Furthermore, at Cultural Bridge we are dedicated to providing free, accessible education for those stricken by poverty by building our own schools. Along with school campuses, Cultural Bridge hopes to build playgrounds for children and a recreation center for the youth.
Employment Opportunity: Creating job opportunities is also paramount to the vision of Cultural Bridge. Members of our community will be given an education and provided opportunities to work in our kitchen, school, rec-center and more, for a fair and living wage.
Sponsoring: Here are Cultural Bridge we are dedicated to locating sponsors and financial donors for the Cultural Bridge schoolhouse. In this way, we understand the necessity of building strong connections between members of the African community and the West and hope to see these connections branch out on a global, cross-cultural scale.
Some other important projects for Cultural Bridge in the future are providing an accessible medical care facility, as well as a place to for volunteers to stay during their outreaches.
