John is a tutor for EKARI Foundation's Tutoring Program. He teaches physical science, and he is also a teacher in the local community. He teaches the students during their holidays so they don't fall behind and they keep up with their studies during breaks. With the extra income John receives from EKARI, he is able to financially support three of his relatives' higher education. Without John's support (indirectly from EKARI), his relatives would not have been able to continue their higher education. However, John asserts that the most important aspect of his job "is the ability for him to impart wisdom on children and ensure they pass their yearly exams, which they previously did not have the capacity to do."
EKARI’s Tutoring Program is expanding and growing. We are now teaching two more courses each day (Chichewa - a local language, and agriculture) which has increased the classes from four to six hours. This means we made contracts with two new local teachers, bringing the total to six. Also, thanks to the space in the community building, non-EKARI youth from the community have been able to join in on some classes.
We are grateful for your support, which has allowed the Tutoring Program to continue to succeed. Thank you!
