Secondary School & Supplies for Excelling Students

The month of August brings many of us to think of the end of summer vacation and the return of our children and grand children to school. It is time for new shoes, clothes, and backpacks. It is time to get physicals and sign up for school activities. Time to dust off the musical instruments and tune them up.  How privileged our children are to have these things be given and done for them.

For many children in Africa this luxury never happens. At Chikumbuso we try to make this happen for as many students as we possibly can.  September 1st  the Chikumbuso community sends and pays for 500 students to get back in school. This includes uniforms, school fees, teachers salaries, books, pens, paper etc...   Please as you reflect on the needs of your own children we ask that you think also of our students and help us to help them. For these students school has become a luxury that many can not afford.

We can not help all these children with out your help.

A few dollars buys pencils, $5 buys notebooks, $10 buys bookbags etc...   Your donations do make a difference.

Beatrice Zulu is 16 years old going into 10^th grade. She lives with her grandmother, Estelia.  Estelia ‘s children all died leaving her with the care of 9 grandchildren. As you can imagine it is very difficult for Estelia to not send these children to school so she came to Chikumbuso looking for help. Beatrice would love to get back into school where Math and English are her favorite subjects. Since the death of her parents she has not been able to attend.

Your help would make a difference in her life.
