Pay for Teacher Training in Zambia $60.00
Help train a former AIDS orphan to become a teacher in Zambia, enabling her or him to bring the gift of education to a whole new generation of children!
In the impoverished, landlocked country of Zambia, the chance for a school education can be as scarce as rainfall on the high plateaus. Primary education through age 7 is free, but after that, tuition is charged, and most children stop attending school.
Cecily's Fund is a non-profit working to improve educational opportunities for children in Zambia, especially for orphans who want to achieve a better future. After completing secondary school with the help of Cecily's Fund, many of these motivated young people want to pass along the gift of education.
You can help! Purchase of this Gift That Gives More™ funds one month of teacher training for an AIDS orphan in Zambia who wants to become a teacher. $60 covers tuition, fees, and all living expenses.
Cecily's Fund works with local Zambian partner organizations to enable orphans and vulnerable children to attend primary and secondary school, giving them hope for the future. Cecily's Fund also trains 40 to 50 graduates each year as health educators, giving them the chance to contribute to the fight against AIDS, and supports a number of orphan school-leavers to study on teacher-training programs.
