I'm fundraising to support an innovation project We are developing a new video conferencing solution for Africa. Black Mental Health Matters is also working on developing a mental health app to connect people that need mental health services with mental healthcare providers and ensure that people have access to culturally sensitive mental healthcare. Our goal is to create a virtual clinic which provides an enabling environment for people to heal or recover from trauma ,depression or any other mental health challenges while at the same time destigmatizing mental health in our communities. I know that this project has all merits for funding and hopefully one day will get the kind of support I need. Currently this project is relying on volunteers to get it done This project upon being completed will create thousands of jobs and positively impact the lives of many people living in Africa. Please note I'm running at least five various innovation projects and your support will be greatly appreciated. You can also alternatively directly support our projects by becoming a patreon. https://www.patreon.com/USAfrikagov Feel free to reach out for more information.

My intention is to complete the house soonest possible so as we can do away with paying rent which is consuming most of the family income. After moving into the house the amount we have been paying as rent will be released to grow the family business which will intern generate more income to the family helping us plan for a family vacation at least once or twice in a year.
