STEEM ACCELERATOR HUB: Update on fundraising, donations and development #1

ju.JPG


Hello Steemians. 13 days ago, we saw a need for a decentralized offline community while enjoying the decentralized online community that Steemit has created for us. The Steemit ecosystem, gave lots of Nigerians a platform to create jobs, mine their earnings and better their community.
The benefits of this decentralization has introduced to us an avenue for wealth creation and sustenance, and we are working to make it available to all and sundry.
So it was on that love and dedication for communal growth and advancement that we shared the Steem Accelerator Hub idea with you...se.JPG..and so far it has been a very fulfilling ride making these plans and putting them out one step at a time for a better world.


HOW IT STARTED.
When this idea was incubated, I contacted the team and we have been working round the clock since then to make this a reality. It wasn't easy convincing ourselves it was a great idea, but we did and from then, we just started living the dream and organized the first University campaign in Nigeria.
Although we didn't quite know if our community will want this change, but we went on with it anyways and not long, @donkeypong took an interest in this vision and helped us put the ideas out there acting as our technical adviser. He went a step further with us and did a fundraising post to help the STACH vision.se.JPG
So 13 days after we started the fundraising project for the hub, this is what we have been up to.a.JPG


ACHIEVEMENT SO FAR.
STACH was well received by the Steemit community and the team went about fundraising. I dedicated 100% of my post rewards and donations to making this a reality and for the last 13 days, we have made sure those earnings were channeled towards this project.

  • We paid the rent for the space needed to start the first Steem Accelerator Hub 2 days ago. It is big, a 14ft by 16ft space.
  • Painting and minor alterations have been done.
  • Commencement of building of shelves and electrical fittings.
    Work is just starting and we will keep updating you with the progress of work and how we are doing, so stay tuned because we wouldn't want you to miss a thing!

DONATIONS AND EARNINGS.
The earning received from the various articles I and the team wrote including the fundraising post @donkeypong did, plus donations came to a little over $1300SBD. These funds are being used to create your hub.


LOCATION.
We had various locations we penned out for this hub, but we had to take only one for now. So we settled for the one you will see in the pictures. It is a cool and serene location that will equally provide a restful environment for all.
We are boarded by the University community as well as being in close proximity with a private Secondary School. We apart from targeting the Undergraduates are also targeting the teenagers as well. where we look to reach out to the teenagers.stach1.jpg

HOW CAN YOU HELP?
For the last 13 days, I have donated 100% of my earnings to this project and since we are still in the setup stage. I am still going to keep doing that. So from now till the end of this setup period, all liquid earnings from this post and any other one will go towards this project.
