Give the Gift of Education: Sponsor a Child Zambia

Earlier this year, the Sponsor a Child program went through an exciting transition of not only having one person, but we are grateful to have grown the team to two people working on the ground. With that, we are putting new systems and processes in place that will ensure the continuous efficiency of the program. The growth of this program has been feasible because of your continuous generosity and support towards the children and the sponsorship program. 

The ‘Covid era’ we now live in has changed how the school year runs and the education system has changed as they try to intensify the learning so that the children on the months they have lost out. These past few months, the schools closed down due to the surge in the cases in the country. This did not stop some children from accessing extra-curricular lessons in order to help them keep up with the workload that comes with the grades they are in. With cases gradually going down, schools reopened a month ago and now teachers are faced with the tasks of making sure the children are able to catch up with the school work, especially for the children in examination classes.

We have no doubt that with a little extra work, the goals set at the beginning of the school year will still be achieved due to the motivation and resilience of students and school staff alike. 

Thank you so much for continuing to support education and creating brighter futures - your generosity is appreciated more now than ever! 

2020 was a year like no other, yet our supporters continued to show up in a multitude of ways. It’s because of you that the African Impact Foundation not only survived the challenges, but grew a little bigger and is ready to make more impact in 2021 - thank you. 

The impact you made has been showcased in our 2020 Annual Report - read it here! 

We are going through an exciting transition to make an even deeper impact to alleviate poverty in Southern and Eastern Africa. Adapting our efforts, together with our existing community partnerships and programs, we will be working more closely with youth to encourage ownership over their choices, and provide pathways for a prosperous future. 

We want to see young people, especially girls, have access to more opportunities and grow their skills to create a sustainable life for themselves, their families, and their communities.

As such a huge part of our impact family, we hope that you will continue on this journey with us. Thank you so much for investing in positive change for those who need it most.
