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 to go for further studies.
However, sometimes the funding was not sufficient and we have had to postpone a child's studies until the next opportunity. To avoid this, we started a study fund and 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 vocational, technical or tertiary education.
In due course we ask each graduated child to donate towards this study fund as well, in order to support their "Kasisi family".
Thank You
We are very grateful to the Friends of Kasisi and various organizations, particularly Share4More Foundation (Rabobank, the Netherlands) and Kasisi Foundation Poland, which enabled our children to join or continue their primary, secondary and 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. A few 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 choice. A few have to rewrite exams in mathematics and/or science in order to be enrolled at their respective colleges or universities, guided in the meantime by part-time lecturers, while working temporarily at or near Kasisi Children's Home to gain practical experience.
We appreciate your kindness, and on behalf of all the children we wish you every blessing.
Study News
Evelyn graduates
Evelyn has just finished nursing at a 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 - even when not ill.
New study room
Since the replacement of our old wall fence, we gained some additional space around our home. This allowed us to build two additional study rooms, 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 assistance in providing educational programs for the children.
At the same time, Kasisi Study Fund, with the help of Dutch donors, provided ten small tablets loaded with a complete primary school program in seven Zambian languages.
