Who We Are

Founded in 2019, Sankofa For Peace is a Washington State-based organization dedicated to improving the lives of vulnerable individuals and families in our community. We are a passionate group of volunteers, staff members, and supporters who believe in the power of collective action to bring about lasting change. With a deep commitment to providing resources, support, and care to those in need, we strive to build a stronger, more resilient community where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.

Since our inception, we have been focused on creating a positive impact by addressing some of the most pressing challenges faced by our community, including poverty, lack of access to education, and mental health struggles. Our work is guided by compassion, integrity, and a belief that every individual deserves the chance to live a full and healthy life.

At Sankofa, we are committed to providing support in various forms, whether through direct aid, educational programs, or mental health resources. Our services include:

Donations and Community Support: We accept and distribute donations in the form of money, clothes, food, and other essential items. These donations go directly to individuals and families in need, helping to provide the basic necessities for those who are struggling. We also partner with local businesses and other community organizations to amplify our efforts and ensure that no one in our area is left behind.

Educational Support for Children: We understand the importance of education as a foundation for a better future. Our organization offers tutoring services, school supplies, and scholarships to children in underserved communities. We also organize after-school programs and summer enrichment activities that promote academic growth, creativity, and personal development, ensuring that every child has access to the tools and opportunities they need to succeed.

Mental Health and Wellness: Mental health is a crucial aspect of overall well-being, and we are deeply committed to providing mental health support to those in need. We offer counseling services, support groups, and mental health awareness campaigns to help individuals and families cope with the challenges of mental illness. Our goal is to reduce the stigma surrounding mental health, while offering accessible and affordable resources for those who are struggling.

Our Focus

At the heart of our work is a dedication to supporting vulnerable individuals and families, meeting the educational needs of children, and addressing mental health issues that affect many in our community.

Supporting Vulnerable Individuals and Families: We believe that every individual, regardless of their circumstances, deserves to live with dignity and respect. Our organization focuses on providing direct support to individuals and families facing challenges such as poverty, homelessness, and food insecurity. By offering immediate relief through donated food, clothing, and financial assistance, we help families meet their basic needs while also connecting them with longer-term resources and support.

Educational Needs for Children: Education is the key to breaking the cycle of poverty and creating opportunities for future generations. We are committed to ensuring that every child, regardless of their background, has access to quality education. Our educational programs provide tutoring, mentorship, and resources that support academic achievement and foster a love for learning. We work with local schools, educators, and families to bridge gaps and ensure that all children have the resources and support they need to succeed academically and personally.

Mental Health: We recognize the profound impact that mental health has on every aspect of life, from personal relationships to professional success. Our organization focuses on providing comprehensive mental health support through counseling services, peer support groups, and educational programs that aim to reduce the stigma around mental health issues.
