A notable personality based in the United States has offered to support our community, and in return, we need to support their mobile app to hit 1million downloads with real users (not bots/fake profiles).

With this fund, we'll be able to do the following:

1. Reward all outstanding winners of previous GDA competitions.
2. Host the 2022 GDA Competition proudly sponsored by the app, with attractive rewards for all winners.
3. Upgrade our Mystova platform as well as our GDAIT, GDAIP, and social media content.
4. Host our first offline community outreach to at least one school in 10 cities with the most GDA members.
5. Position our community to access more financial support from other interested local and global organizations.

This app is a beautiful dating app where users can Meet and Date Africans. Its download size is only 17mb. It's still at the development stage but our kind reviews on the app will help it get better.

I and the rest of the GDA leadership think we can do this together, but we can only accept the $15,000 sponsorship offer if we know you are in support and ready to genuinely participate.

This fund will be released in 6 installments for every milestone of 150,000 downloads we achieve. And there's a possibility of a repeat sponsorship for another 3 years if we hit the milestone this year.

So if you think we should take the offer, please make sure to cast your vote via the poll and also your suggestions in the comment section will be very valuable to help us plan the activities that'll achieve the goal. Please do not cast your vote in the comment section - USE the POLL only!

If we have as much as 50,000 "Yes we can!" votes in the poll, then our partner will proceed with the sponsorship. And more partners will take this poll as a sign that we're ready so they can partner with us.

This is a very important milestone for our community, so let the decision-making process begin!
