Gift Hope: Sponsor a Child in Zambia

Dear Supporters,

We are excited to share the latest updates and achievements from our Sponsor a Child program, which continue to reflect the incredible potential of our young learners. Thanks to your support, we have made meaningful steps in empowering the youth we serve.

Career Talk Empowering Future Aspirations

Recently, we hosted a dynamic career talk attended by 14 students: 6 from Youth Insaka and 8 from the Sponsor a Child program. This session was dedicated to exploring various career paths and equipping the children with the knowledge to make informed decisions about their futures. The event sparked inspiration, curiosity, and valuable discussions, paving the way for the children to envision their professional journeys.

Recognizing Academic Excellence

We are proud to celebrate Patrick, who has been awarded the prestigious title of Most Outstanding Boy in Grade 10 at St. Raphael's Secondary School. This achievement is a testament to Patrick’s hard work and unwavering dedication to his studies. His success serves as an inspiring example for his peers, motivating them to strive for academic excellence.

Preparing for Final Exams

Our Grade 7, 9, and 12 students are gearing up for their crucial final exams in the coming weeks. This period is both exciting and challenging, as it sets the stage for their future educational journeys. We are fully committed to supporting them through this month with resources, mentorship, and encouragement. We believe in our students’ potential and are motivating them to approach their exams with confidence and determination.

Celebrating Francis' Achievement

In higher education news, Francis, a second-year midwifery student, has reached a significant milestone. During his recent clinical placements in hospital wards, Francis successfully conducted three deliveries in a single day for the first time, under the guidance of experienced instructors. This hands-on experience has been invaluable, and Francis’s dedication to providing exceptional care to both mothers and newborns shines brightly. We congratulate him on this outstanding accomplishment!

These achievements highlight the impact of your continued support. Your contributions are not only changing individual lives but also uplifting entire communities. Thank you for being a crucial part of our journey.

Kind regards,

The African Impact Foundation Team 

Kofi Annan said: "Knowledge is power, information is liberating, education is the premise of progress in every society, in every family."

Education is essential for every child and is an important investment for the future. However, many families in Zambia cannot afford all the necessary school supplies and fees. As a result, many children drop out of school. Financial problems are the main reason for this issue, leading to fewer students finishing school and higher drop out rates. 

Hear from one of our Sponsor a Child students on how this program has positively impact his life:

"My name is Emmanuel, I started benefiting from the African Impact Foundation's Sponsor A Child program six years ago while I was still in middle school. My mother had a low-income job to care for the family and did not earn enough to provide for me and my siblings' educational needs. Without stationery for school or shoes and knowing you would be sent back home because you still owe school fees for a number of terms, maybe years, it was very easy to lose interest in school and just stay home and indulge in unproductive activities.

I fortunately got a sponsorship through the Sponsor A Child program with African Impact Foundation. It was life changing and the end of the bad days for me. My school fees balance was cleared, I received high quality books, school shoes, a school bag and all the necessary school materials every year. Having everything I needed for school encouraged me to work hard, the hard work resulted in good results and love to acquire an education.

Despite my early years in school being a rough ride and my future being uncertain due to financial challenges, the Sponsor A Child program financed my transition all the way from Primary to Secondary school. I am in my last year of school now, I made it this far while some of my peers dropped out in previous school years.

The African Impact Foundation's Sponsor A Child program has positively impacted my life through my journey in school by providing me with all the school necessities and financial aid. The program encouraged me along with many other school going children to work hard and stay in school for a better future.

The program has saved and keeps saving a lot of children from dropping out of school, it keeps changing lives by promoting education as a fundamental human right and the premise of progress in every society, in every family.
Thank you African impact foundation for putting a smile on my face to look forward to having a brighter future!! "

We want to thank YOU for all your support. Because of your donation, children like Emmanuel have a chance at a bright future, and we are forever grateful for your generosity.
