Early on in our time in Zimbabwe, we began to see the need for providing assistance to some of the children and youth in our area. Zimbabwe has a very high unemployment rate and many families do not have a working member to pay for school tuition for their children. Additionally boarding schools for the youth often offer better educational outcomes than some of the schools local to Karanda. There are approximately 35 children being assisted by your gifts. Some are orphans. Others are pastor's kids. Still others are the children of Karanda staff members. The last group is made up of children from families in the community that need help.
Currently it costs:
$50.00/year to put a local child in a local Primary School.
$110.00/year to put a local youth in a local High School.
$1,650.00/year to put a local youth in a Boarding High School.
We provide scholarships through the your gifts. These funds will pay for most of a term's fees. The parents or guardians meet the fee shortfall. Passing performance is required as is church and youth meeting attendance.
Your gifts for this project should be directed through our sending church. Clicking on the picture to the left will link you with Hunter 1st Baptist Church's web site. Gifts designated to be directed to the African Children's Account should be sent through the mail to:
