Mission

Programs

Kucetekela Foundation (KF) has partnered with three private secondary schools in Lusaka, Zambia. KF provides scholarships to Zambian students that show academic promise, but do not have the financial means to obtain a secondary education. The scholarship covers tuition fees as well as books, school supplies, boarding fees, exam/test fees, uniforms and extra academic lessons. A student-mentor program provides the KF student with guidance and support through their secondary education.
