Grantees Seeking Sponsors

Kasonde Marvel “I am requesting for your assistance because I need to be in school that is the only way I can help to reduce poverty levels in my family as well as in my nation.”

Priscilla Chanda “I would like to be educated, but the challenge is money. Sometimes we don’t eat food, just because of suffering, so help me please.”

Joyce Chileshe

Violet comes from a big family. She has always been the leader in her family, though she is one of the younger ones. She pursued the Bakashana offices tirelessly seeking assistance. Now we have agreed to help her follow her dreams, and seek a sponsor to lead the way!

Chileshe Chanda Chileshe Chanda

Chileshe is a shy but tenacious young woman in grade 8. Her family lives in a shanty compound on the outskirts of town, living a rural existence (grass thatch house, cooking over fire, no running water or electricity) in an urban area which makes life tough for her and her three siblings. During holidays she goes to help her grandparents farm. She is trying her best at school and hopes to be the first in her family to finish grade 12.

Mutamfya Monday “I didn’t have enough money to go into grade 8 so I started selling vegetables with my step -mother to save both for school and for food. At home we live without electricity which means we use candles for light and sometimes we don’t have enough money for candles.”

Constance Mulenga “I have always dreamed of being in a boarding school, I promise to try my hardest to make you and my Grandmother very proud.”

Sara Kanyanta “When I finish school I would like to work in the government so I can help people who are suffering. Like what you did for me. My lovely friend, don’t forgive up, just continue to help us.”

Sara will complete high school in 2021. She lives in a rural village with her Mother and siblings. For the last three years she has met with an English group in her community every Saturday, with the hopes of improving her fluency. She works diligently in school and is very outgoing. She enjoys playing netball and wishes to one day work for the government.

Priscilla Mulenga < ““I want to help poor people. Sometimes poor people have to work too hard, and I see my people suffering and I feel very bad.”

Priscilla will complete high school in 2023. Her Mother supports her and her three younger siblings by farming and gardening, but it is difficult for her to manage to pay school fees. Priscilla wrote a very high score on her national exam and her mother walks 7 miles to and from their home to our offices three times a year to bring us Priscilla’s report form. When she finishes school she wishes to become a teacher.

Vanessa Kapembwa “Please help me in one way or another, I want to be somebody in the future and have a bright future as other people do.”

Vanessa will complete high school in 2020. She likes relating with people and eating and laughing! She lost her Father at a young age and her Mother struggles to support the family.

Beatrice Chileshe “If you choose me, I promise to work my hardest to succeed.”

Beatrice will complete high school in 2023. She lost her father at a young age and lives with her Mother.

Regina Chokwe

Regina will complete high school in 2020. She lost her father in 2016 and her Mother, failing to take care of the family alone, sent Regina to live with an Auntie deep in the village. Regina relentless fought for sponsorship from our program, often walking more than 1 ½ hours to fill out applications and bring proper documents. She currently is studying at PEAS academy but is renting a grass thatched house nearby while she waits for sponsorship to live in the Boarding House.

Lukonde Annie “I wish I could one day go to boarding school where I can just focus on school.”

Annie will finish secondary school in 2021. She lives with her 8 siblings and Father after their Mother abandoned the family in 2014. Her Father is a subsistence farmer, and her eldest brother works odd jobs around town. This income is not enough to support the family.
