Academic Fundraising Appeal
My name is Hannatu Sati Ribah, a Registered Nurse currently pursuing a Master’s Degree in Public Health (MPH) in Health Promotion and Prevention Control at the Ahmadu Bello University Zaria, Nigeria. My journey into public health began from my years of dedicated service as a Nursing Officer, I worked closely with patients from diverse backgrounds. Over time, I witnessed how preventable diseases and poor access to health information continue to affect individuals and families, especially in rural and underserved communities. These experiences deeply shaped me, this resolve to transition from curative care to preventive health practice where I can make a broader and more sustainable impact. Enrolling in the MPH program at the Ahmadu Bello University Distance learning program, one of Nigeria’s leading institutions for public health training, has been a defining step in my professional development. The program has exposed me to advanced concepts in epidemiology, health promotion, and disease prevention, as well as practical research and intervention design. Through my coursework and field experience, I have developed a deeper understanding of how community-based health programs can effectively reduce disease burden and improve quality of life. However, the financial aspect of this academic pursuit has been a major challenge. The school fees for both the first and second semesters were paid through borrowed funds, which I am still struggling to repay while managing my living and study expenses. Despite working diligently, my limited income cannot adequately cover repayment and the upcoming academic requirements, including tuition for the next sessions, research materials, and dissertation costs. I am therefore appealing for financial assistance or sponsorship to support the successful completion of my MPH degree. Your support will not only ease my financial burden but will also help me continue developing the skills and expertise needed to serve communities more effectively. Upon completion of this program, my goal is to contribute to public health policy, community health education, and preventive programs, particularly in rural areas where health awareness and access remain limited. I believe that strengthening prevention and health promotion efforts is the key to achieving lasting improvements in national health outcomes. Thank you for considering my request and for your potential support in helping me fulfill this mission of advancing public health and improving community well-being. The fee will go a long way in supporting me .
Walk with Sudan Campaign - Step by Step, Refuse to Look Away
Walk With Sudan: From a Personal Journey to a Collective MovementA walk that started alone is now becoming a movement.What started as a personal walk is now becoming something much bigger.I originally set out to walk the Camino to raise awareness and funds for Sudan — a quiet, personal response to a crisis that continues to unfold, often out of sight and out of mind.But along the way, something changed.Conversations turned into commitment.Interest turned into action.What began as one person’s walk is now becoming a community movement.That is why the PfAL community — students, alumni, mentors, and friends are coming together for the Walk With Sudan campaign: an act of solidarity, reflection, advocacy, and collective action — expressed not just in what we say, but in what we choose to do.Because when suffering becomes “someone else’s problem,” walking together reconnects us to Ubuntu — and to our shared humanity.Why Sudan — And Why NowSudan is facing one of the world’s most urgent humanitarian crises.Millions have been displaced.Families are struggling to access food, water, and healthcare.Entire communities are being pushed into survival mode.And yet, global attention is fading.Not because people don’t care but because the world is learning to look away.We scroll past the pain because it happens “somewhere else.”But for many of us, this isn’t somewhere else.It’s Africa.It’s Sudan.And our shared humanity runs deeper than borders.Over 13 million children are currently out of school due to conflict.This campaign is about refusing silence.Refusing distance.Refusing indifference.From Camino to CommunityThe Camino was never meant to be the destination.It was the spark.Walk With Sudan is now a student-led, community-driven initiative, bringing people together to take collective action.Because this shouldn’t be one person’s walk.It should be ours.A shared expression of Ubuntu: “I am because you are.”The Launch: Walk & Talk at LSEWe are launching this next chapter through a Walk & Talk event at LSE.A simple format:Walk in solidarityCreate space for honest conversationReflect, learn, and connectTurn awareness into actionThis is not just an event.It is a starting point — one we hope will spread across universities and communities.What This Campaign Is BuildingThis campaign goes beyond awareness.We are working to:Spotlight Sudan in spaces where it is being overlookedMobilise students and communities to act collectivelyRaise funds for trusted humanitarian and diaspora-led organisationsCreate a model that others can replicate globallyA Shared GoalTo turn this from a moment into a movement, we are working towards a collective target:£50,000 by 1 September 2026This is not just a number.It is what allows:Aid to reach communities fasterSupport to scale across multiple networksThis movement to begin with real, tangible impactEvery early contribution helps build that momentum.What Your Support Makes PossibleBeing part of this movement is about turning awareness into action.For some, that starts with showing up.For others, it means speaking out, sharing, or organising.And for many, it includes giving — so that solidarity is not only seen, but felt in real, tangible ways.This campaign supports organisations working both on the ground in Sudan and across the global Sudanese diaspora to deliver urgent humanitarian aid.Your contribution can help provide:£10 → Emergency meals or food support£25 → Access to clean drinking water£50 → Essential medical care and supplies£100+ → Sustained support across food, water, healthcare, and recoveryThrough partners like Sadagaat and the Sudan Benefit Fund (via the Sudanese Diaspora Network), your support helps deliver aid where it is needed most — quickly, directly, and through trusted community networks.In moments like this, awareness without action can only go so far.This is one way of making that action real.How You Can Walk With UsThere is no single way to be part of this.1. WalkJoin the Walk & Talk or organise one in your own community.2. GiveSupport urgent humanitarian efforts. Even small contributions move us closer to our shared goal.3. ShareAmplify Sudan’s story. Post, speak, reflect — or even map your walk on Strava so we can see this movement grow.4. BuildTake this idea to your university or network and make it your own.This isn’t just about fundraising.It’s about standing together.When we walk, we walk for every life affected.Our steps may feel small.But this movement is built on the belief that small, collective acts — when taken seriously — can interrupt silence, shift attention, and create real impact.Sometimes, they are the only response left against a world that has grown numb.A Simple Idea, Taken SeriouslyThis campaign is built on a simple belief:That even in the face of overwhelming crises,people can still choose to act.To walk.To speak.To show up.Walk With Sudan — A Call to Walk, Reflect, and Act💠 Walk in solidarity. Be present. Start conversations.💠 Share what you see and feel. Help make Sudan visible again.💠 Give what you can today.
