Show Up, Give Back, and Gain Dual-Continent Visibility with IAWA’s 10th Anniversary Sponsorship.
Dear Sir/Madam,
On behalf of I Am, We Are (IAWA), I am writing to you with immense excitement as we approach a truly significant milestone: our 10th anniversary in 2025. For a decade, IAWA has been dedicated to a singular, powerful vision: “A world where all youth are socially engaged, globally aware, and economically free.”
Our name, “I Am, We Are,” is more than just a title; it is a philosophy deeply rooted in the South African concept of Ubuntu – “I am because we are,” signifying compassion, interconnectedness, and shared humanity. This principle has been the bedrock of our mission to “Empower youth of African descent with the tools to confidently own their futures,” fostering “Unleashed Potential” in every young person we touch.

Through our holistic, values-based, and trauma-informed approach, we cultivate possibility by instilling four core principles: Personal Consciousness, Global Awareness, Entrepreneurial Mindset, and Social Responsibility. We are “anchored in restoring hope,” addressing historical systems of oppression, and empowering our youth to become true “Ambassadors” – leaders who not only transform their own lives but also uplift their communities.
To commemorate this incredible journey and to lay the foundation for the next decade of impact, we are thrilled to announce our first-ever cultural immersion trip and anniversary celebration in South Africa. This isn’t just an event; it’s a profound movement, embodying the spirit of “I Am Excellence” – the belief that every young person, every community, and every supporter holds the potential to lead, inspire, and uplift.
We invite you to join us in celebrating this remarkable legacy and to become a vital part of our future. Your sponsorship connects your brand directly to purpose, offering unparalleled visibility across two continents – South Africa and the United States. It strengthens your alignment with critical themes of transformation and equity, showcasing your commitment to global community development. Furthermore, as a Level 1 B-BBEE nonprofit with dual tax-deductible status in both South Africa and the United States of America, your partnership offers tangible benefits while making a profound difference.
This is your chance to show up, give back, and be remembered as a key partner in building a lasting legacy of empowerment and hope for youth worldwide.
Will you join us in this transformative celebration? We would be honored to discuss the various sponsorship opportunities available and how your support can help us continue to unleash potential for years to come.
With deepest gratitude,
Meisha Lerato Robinson
Founder and Chief Executive of Hope I Am, We Are (IAWA)
