14 YEARS OF CHANGING LIVES!

Students Bridging the Information Gap, Inc (SBIG) is a Summit, New Jersey-based non-governmental organization (NGO) that was founded in 2008 and has received its 501©(3) tax-exempt designation from the IRS.

SBIG harnesses the humanitarian interests of students, corporate and faith-based partners and other civic groups to support fellow students in Ghana by providing computers and related equipment for learning labs, age appropriate reading materials and other support to beneficiary organizations. SBIG has a diverse set of trustees and members, representing the private commercial and non-profit sectors, students and their parents, and U.S. and overseas-based partners.

Focus:

We understand that technology and literary skills are critical to any student’s education in our world today. As a result, SBIG focuses on providing computers for learning labs, age appropriate reading material and other related educational assistance.

Procedure:

SBIG conducted wide-ranging Needs Assessments to identify schools and/or orphanages with the highest needs based on criteria such as physical plant/infrastructure, access to water and electricity, characteristics of the students and staff, reputation of the organization and other factors.

Goals:

Now in its 14th year, SBIG is committed to maintaining and continually modernizing the computer laboratories, libraries and infrastructure it has installed across its partner schools and orphanages.

OUR 10th ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATED

SBIG celebrated its 10th anniversary with cocktails and dinner on Thursday, April 26, 2018 at Baltusrol Golf Club in  Springfield Township, NJ.

We welcomed  Mary Osei Tutu, Founder of Offinso Children’s Center and Blessed Child School in Ghana, who expressed her deep gratitude for SBIG’s support.

Many of the former students who volunteered and served in Ghana were in attendance. With the help of our attendees and supporters the event raised $48,650 to further our cause.

Thank you all. We look forward to continuing our support for our schools.
