At Sankofa Bridge, we believe that exposure changes lives. That’s why we’re taking a powerful step toward bridging the gap between African American youth and their ancestral heritage—with a cultural immersion trip to Accra, Ghana.


But we can’t do it without your help.


This isn’t just a trip—it’s a transformation. For our young travelers, this will be their first time leaving the country. For some, it’s their first time on a plane. And for all of them, it’s a life-changing opportunity to connect with history, identity, and purpose.

Whether you can give big or small, every gift matters. Here’s how you can make a direct impact:


🌍 Round-trip Flight – $1,400

Give the gift of flight.


Your donation will help one youth traveler fly to Ghana and back, opening the world to them.










💉 Yellow-Fever Vaccination – $300

ree

Required by law for entry into Ghana, this vaccine protects our youth from illness during their travels.








🏨 Hotel Accommodations – $500

ree

Provide a safe and comfortable place to rest after full days of cultural exploration. This also includes delicious meals prepared by a personal cook.










🛂 First U.S. Passport – $160

ree

Help a youth obtain their first passport, a document that opens the door to global possibilities long after this journey ends.









✍️ Ghanaian Visa – $100

ree

Your gift makes the journey official by covering the visa required to enter Ghana.










💊 Malaria Prevention – $35

ree

Malaria is a serious risk in Ghana. Help protect a youth traveler with medication that ensures their safety and well-being.








❤️ Choose Your Own Amount

Want to help but unsure how much? Every dollar gets us one step closer to Ghana.














Why Ghana? Why Now?


Our youth will visit historic landmarks such as Cape Coast Castle, walk through the Door of No Return, meet Ghanaian youth, and experience the vibrancy of West African culture firsthand. These moments are more than educational—they’re healing, empowering, and unforgettable.


Your generosity fuels this mission. With your help, we're not just buying plane tickets—we're planting seeds of pride, power, and possibility.

Together, we can make sure no youth is left behind because of cost.🌐
