​It is all around us – education. It is not in all of us due to no fault of their own. Promises written can be misinterpreted and may never be delivered. BTNEF is convicted in its efforts to ensure that broken educational systems are repaired and restored so that many who have not been able to read what has been written will be empowered. Quality educational opportunities strengthen individuals, families and communities. Challenges once insurmountable are converted to successes. High quality educational opportunities promote self-sufficiency; a fulfilled life; financial stability; dream maker; dream deliverer; generational prosperity; and the ability to create what was not to what should and must be. Ultimately education is a strategy that has as its equalizer tempered steel. BTNEF will partner with evidenced-based and researched-driven projects and programs that can deliver possibilities to broken individuals, families and communities of every generation of chattel slavery survivors.
