Classroom Sponsorship

When one visits Chikumbuso there is little doubt that it is an amazing community project. It includes 500 students who would not otherwise be in school. It has a feeding program for over 500/day, a library, sewing room filled with young moms, and 30 widows who sing together in harmony while earning a living making bags.

What keeps us moving forward?  You do. One of the most important aspects of this ongoing work is you and our sponsorship program.

The following note comes from a woman in Pennsylvania who sponsors at Chikumbuso.

My friend, my 12 year old son, and I just recently returned from Lusaka, Zambia and a wonderful visit to Chikumbuso.  This was my 3rd visit to Chikumbuso.  My first visit was in 2012 where I met a 10 year old boy and got to know him.  I returned in 2013 and found out he was not sponsored, and was thrilled to be able to sponsor him.  He is now 14 years old and we surprised him with a visit this summer.  What a joy to see his shocked face as he walked into the room and saw me there.  That hug when I first saw him and the reception I got from him was the highlight of my trip.  He loved meeting my 12 year old son and we spent time with him that I will cherish forever.  He is an amazing young man with so much potential and I am thrilled to know that Chikumbuso and his teacher are giving him the opportunity to not only get an education, but to help him reach his dreams.  He would like to be a clinic doctor or a teacher just like his teacher at Chikumbuso and because of the opportunity that Chikumbuso offers, he has a chance to fulfill his dreams.  Thank you, Chikumubso for changing lives!!  Michelle Halter

Thank you all for being a part of this wonderful work.

Sincerely,
