Student Sponsorship

KACCAD is looking for sponsorship for 46 students we have sponsored since 2001. Education is one of the best, longest lasting ways to change the life of a person as it increases one’s potential for improved income and quality of life without requiring constant aid from the government or NGOs. As gathered from interviews KACCAD conducted in 2006, an estimated 51% of people in our service area are illiterate. This figure is based on the percentage of interviewees who either dropped out of school during primary education or did not attend at all. People without an education do not have equal access to services and employment. This is crippling to their ability to provide for their family and themselves. Your contribution can help us give children a future to dream about. Sponsorship of a primary student for day school is $75 a term (every 4 months), $175 per term will cover school fees for a secondary student attending day school and $200 will cover boarding school fees for a secondary student. This money will cover tuition and enable KACCAD to pay for postage and transport to keep sponsors in touch with their student/s. People who choose to sponsor students will receive a receipt for school payment and a report card from the student each term. A photo and letter written by the student will also be sent to the sponsor at the beginning of their sponsorship. Sponsors will have open communication which the children they support which KACCAD will help facilitate. If you are ready to change the life of a child by helping them get in or stay in school please contact KACCAD for details. (nursing student sponsored by KACCAD.)
