Give the Gift of Education: Sponsor a Child Zambia

The sponsorship program has changed alot of children lives. Each child has a special challenge as to why they cant continue with school or rather afford to pay school fees. 

Meet Novic  a 22 year old of Livingstone who has benefited from the sponsor a child  program immensely. 

Novic is the first born in a family of 5. Life has been hard for the family for both his parents do not work and only depend on farming which at times crops dry due to bad weather.

Novic had stayed home for a long time after attending primary school for he had no one to pay for his junior and secondary school.

Last year, via African Impact Foundation, he was privileged to find a sponsor who helped him to go to a  Driving School which was very successful and he now has a Drivers’ License which can give him an opportunity to work as a Driver. The same sponsor has extended her sponsorship to help Novic study and finish his grade 12. So, mid last month he started  at one of the Night school. His so excited and sends his gratitude to the African Impact Foundation and his Sponsor for this Lovely gift of Education. Novic Says “Education is the Loveliest Gift that someone can give for it is The Key to Success”. He has promised to study hard to achieve his dreams and today his dreams has come true. Thank you to all the Sponsors/donors who have come on board to sponsor Orphaned and Vulnerable Children.

Sponsor a Child Story for April 2018

April is yet another month were some of our Sponsored Children under the African Impact Foundation Sponsorship in Livingstone/Zambia receive a donation of Bicycles from Tour de Afric Riders. It was such a privilege again this year to receive a donation of 20 Bicycles from Tour De Afric. The celebration for receiving the Bicycles took place at the Zambezi Water Front and among the invited guests were Head teachers from different schools within Livingstone, Teachers, Pupils/Students, the beneficiaries of the Previous donated bicycles and the Education Standard Officer (ESO) from DEB’s Office as the Guest of Honor.

The main aim of this donation of bicycles is that “a lot of children in Livingstone cover Long distances to and from school and as the outcome, they miss school a lot because they are tired most of the time and these bicycles help them cut the long distances short to and from school.” Therefore, children are able to attend school without missing a day.

One of the Beneficiary Kennedy, a grade 10 student at St. Raphael’s Secondary School had this to say:

“A huge thank you goes to African Impact and Tour de Afric for these Bicycles you donate to us, I am one of the beneficiary who received a bicycle last year and surely, it has really helped me. I used to attend school 3 times in a week because I used to get tired for I used to cover a distance of 6km every day to go to school and therefore, missed some of the school days. My performance at school was very poor because of missed classes. Now that I’ve got a bicycle, I attend school every day and my performance has really improved. From the 18^th position in Class out of 40 students last year in 2017, I am now in the 5^th position which is very good and am very happy about it. Keep up your good work and continue to help the Orphaned and Vulnerable Children.”
