Chikumbuso is commited to getting them into a local highschool through this program of individual sponsorship and personal mentoring.

Why this Project is Important
Potential Long Term Impact
Presently Chikumbuso sponsors over 100 orphans in higher education. Every year Chikumbuso graduates 40-50 students from their fifth grade. It is imperative that these orphans understand they will not be left to create a future on their own.
Project Message
"When one sponsors a child's education he should know that he could be sponsoring the future of a village."
- Musonda Banda, Sponsored student at Chikumbuso Project
