Towards a possible partnership to provide Saudi scholarships to AFRICAN DIASPORA STUDENTS in the USA.

It is with immense honor and deep gratitude that we accepted the invitation of Mr. Abu Yusuf, Chairman of the Board of Directors and founder of IBRAA Association for Financial Reform, during our visit to Buraydah, Al-Qasim, Saudi Arabia on 04/03/2025. This significant meeting provided an opportunity to discuss matters of great importance, particularly in the fields of philanthropy and humanitarian action.

A Guided Tour and Enriching Discussions

Welcomed with warm hospitality and unparalleled generosity, we had the privilege of touring the center’s facilities and learning about the association’s numerous initiatives. The remarkable efforts made by Abu Yusuf and his team to support people with mental disabilities and those in need, both in Saudi Arabia and Africa, demonstrate exceptional humanitarian commitment.

Our Thanks and Congratulations

We would like to express our most sincere gratitude to Abu Yusuf for his invitation and kind welcome. It was a true honor to be received by such an eminent personality, whose dedication to the most vulnerable is truly admirable.

We warmly congratulate him for his tireless work and encourage him to persevere in this noble mission. May Almighty God grant him long life, health, protection, and success in all his charitable works. May He strengthen his efforts and multiply the resources of his association so that it may continue to spread hope and solidarity.

Toward a Future Partnership for Strengthened Collaboration

Recognizing the importance of uniting forces to serve humanity, we propose exploring a future partnership between Indiana Africans United and Ibraa Association for Financial Reform. Such collaboration would allow us to consolidate our joint efforts, expand our impact, and build even stronger bridges between Saudi Arabia, Africa, and the United States.

This partnership could pave the way for joint projects, expertise exchanges, and more effective aid programs for the benefit of the most disadvantaged populations.

Once again, we thank Abu Yusuf for this invaluable opportunity and for his commitment to noble causes. May this meeting mark the beginning of fruitful cooperation in service of human well-being.

Together, let us work toward a more united and just world.

Indiana Africans United remains committed to supporting humanitarian initiatives and strengthening ties between communities across the globe.
