Campaign story

About this campaign

May Peace and Blessings be Upon You,

In his autobiograpy Malcolm X states," I don't think anybody ever got more out of going to prison than I did." As we are the proud Cohort 2 students of Northwestern's Prison Education Program(NPEP), this gold standard is championed by my beloved mother Yolanda Fields along with our beloved director Dr. Jennifer Lackey. They both challenge us to become elite, productive contributing members of society: to take the world by storm.

Sadly, our community recently lost one of its elite on Juneteenth 2024. Our beloved Michael Broadway was a brother, mentor, author and scholar who was one of the first incarcerated students to graduate from a top 10 university in 2023. Michael was such a loving, other-centered, brilliant bright light in our community. Michael must live on as we invite you to join us in celebrating his life along with the trail he blazed for our anticipated Cohort 2 graduating class of 2025 by empowering marginalized people in Africa through the restoration of a water well that will restore the flow of water for an entire community of 1000+ people in Chad. On behalf of the proud Cohort 2 students:

Jeffrey Campbell, Brian Dean, Mark Dixon, Edmund Duffin, Leon Fields, Brodrick Hollins, James Lenoire, Paul Madrowski, Todd Mandolini, Flynard Miller, Ramon Montague, Leon Robinson, Kevin Scott, Charles Serrano, Leshaun Smith and Brandon Wyatt

We thank you for your support and generosity.

Sincerely,

Cohort 2

Clean Water Program

Why clean water campaigns matter.

Clean water campaigns help communities replace unsafe rivers, ponds, and shallow wells with dependable water access.

Embrace Relief's clean water work includes new wells, well repairs, field verification, annual maintenance, and donor reporting.

Deep-aquifer wells help reduce exposure to surface contamination and waterborne illness.

Nearby water access gives time back to families, especially women and girls.

Full well projects can include naming, photos, location details, completion reporting, warranty, and annual maintenance.

What your donation supports
