HUMANITY UNITES BRILLIANCE (HUB) ANNOUNCES JOINT VENTURE WITH YAI
Kimmie Weeks and his youth run organization, Youth Action International partners with Humanity Unites Brilliance (HUB) in their joint effort to help communities in Africa move from survival to self sustainment through self empowerment.
HUB also announced its first humanitarian program which includes micro loans to the women of the worst slums in Nairobi Kenya to make school uniforms for the orphans whose parents have died of Aids. Weeks, was a child refugee of the war in Liberia and nearly died of hunger. Since then, he has been a tireless advocate to end poverty. When he was 16 years old, Weeks led the Children’s Disarmament Campaign to rescue 20,000 other child soldiers in Liberia. As a result, he was forced to flee to the United States where he founded Youth Action International, a nonprofit dedicated to rebuild communities through schools, playgrounds, and business opportunities for women and children in war-torn African countries.
March 1, HUB launched its “Total Package” with HUB members (over 1110 in less than 2 months) receiving the faculty’s Global Empowerment Center and at the same time gifting food, water, education, land ecostainment and micro loans to an initial 300 orphans being moved from the slums to a 20 acre site with schools and a clinic. Women in the slums are being given small micro loans to start a cottage business, making school uniforms for these and other children. As its first pilot program, HUB has committed to take on the education of a further 32,000 children in need after the recent election atrocities that hit Kenya.
