About the Fund |
|
Kasisi children are blessed with a Government primary and
secondary school for girls and, lately also for boys - opposite
their home. For years we have been receiving donations from
various sources to enable our children go for further studies.
However, sometimes the funding was not sufficient and we have
had to postpone children's study till the next opportunity.
To avoid this, we started a study fund and have opened a special
Kasisi Children Study Fund bank account.
The aim of this fund is
to support our children to become independent from Kasisi
Children's Home by offering them a professional education of
their choice. We source, together with the child, the various
options available whether it is vocational, technical or
tertiary education.
In due course we'll ask each graduated child to donate towards
this study fund as well in order to support their 'Kasisi
family'.
Five of our children will start their secondary schools in
January, 2015. Nine of our children are writing their final
Secondary School Education exams and will finish them by the end
October 2014.
Your kind donation will be highly appreciated to
support them and the other 6 children already attending diploma
courses.

Thank
you |
We are
very grateful to the Friends of Kasisi and various
organizations like Share4More Foundation (RaboBank, the
Netherlands) and Kasisi Foundation Poland in particular
which enabled our children in 2015 to join or continue
their primary, secondary and/or further education, in
studies like nursing, medicine, para-medicals,
agriculture, art, computer science, catering and
management, and teacher training.
Nearly
all of them enjoy their education and have become keen
students. However, some children stopped after grade 9 and
could not be convinced to continue their secondary school.
They opted for employment and we managed to get them jobs
with boarding facilities closer to their working place,
while Kasisi remains their home during weekends. A few
rejoined their relatives.
Most of
our grade 12 students graduated and were accepted for their
tertiary education of their choice. A few have to rewrite
exams in mathematics and/or science, in order to be enrolled
at their respected colleges/universities. They will be
guided by part time lecturers. In the meantime they'll work
temporary at or nearby Kasisi Children's Home to gain
practical experience.
We
appreciate your kindness and on behalf of all the children
we wish you a Merry Christmas and a blessed 2016.

Evelyn has just finished nursing, medical polytechnic.
While waiting to be employed by the government she is
working at our home as a registered nurse.
She is very professional
and loving, so all the children visit the treatment room without
fear and even when not ill.

New study room |
|
Since the replacement of our old wall fence, we got some
additional space around our home. This allowed us to build
two additional study rooms which are being used by the
children not only for studying but also as computer rooms.
Six computers were donated by Friends of Kasisi from
different countries. To make our joy complete, a wonderful
team from Microsoft donated internet connection and offered
us assistance in providing educational programs for
children.
At the same time Kasisi Study Fund with the help of Dutch
donors provided ten (10) small tablets with complete primary
school program in seven Zambian languages.
