Dear Friends of KF,
The first academic term has finished in Zambia and we write to share with you the highlights and updates during this period.
As of January, thirty-five students currently attend high quality secondary schools due to the scholarships from Kucetekela Foundation (KF). Additionally, KF now supports thirty-one active alumni who remain involved with KF even as they now study and work around the globe! In this academic year, eight new students (5 boys, 3 girls) started at our partner schools with scholarships from our organization.
This first academic term has been highlighted by a number of exciting activities and achievements:
Highlights from current students:
• For the second consecutive year, KF students earned the highest Grade 12 national exam scores at both Chalo Trust School and Pestalozzi Education Centre.
• KF hosted a new student orientation in Lusaka attended by all new students and their parents/guardians. The key speakers and presentations were given by two KF alumni who shared their experiences in the KF program and their career aspirations.
• Four current KF students were accepted to the Yale Young African Scholars Program which is held in August 2015. Two students (Jackson K. and Kellyson S.) were accepted to the program in Rwanda and two students (Lydia N. and Rabecca N.) will be attending the program in Zimbabwe!
Francine had an excellent first term at Chalo Trust. Her first term results are attached to this report.
