54 Kingdoms Making a Difference, With The Help of Your Vote!

In 2010, 54 Kingdoms collaborated with Addicted to African and Caribbean Magazine (ATAC Mag) to launch “Built for Haiti” campaign; a mission that aimed to raise funds to support Edeyo Foundation’s mission to rebuild Joyous Heart School in Bel-Air, Port Au Prince.

Earlier this year, 54 Kingdoms’ CEO and President, Nana Poku and Kwaku Awuah, decided to travel in person to Haiti to spend time with the students at Joyous Heart School and adequately deliver funds raised.

A few months ago, the Stay Classy Awards committee nominated 54 Kingdoms for their 3rd Annual Classy Awards, Philanthropic Small Business of the Year category. As the only AFRICAN owned business in their category (Philanthropic Small Business of the Year), 54 Kingdoms is deemed to make Africa proud.

This week marks the last week to cast your vote for 54 Kingdoms, currently 7th place in their category. Voting closes on Friday, August 26, 2011, but your vote can make a huge difference!

The Classy Awards is scheduled to take place on Saturday, September 17, 2011 at the San Diego Civic Theater, San Diego, California.
