Even when students in our rural community excel in primary school, their education is often at risk due to the prohibitive costs of secondary schooling. As a result, around 75% of children are unable to continue beyond primary school, severely limiting their future opportunities. For girls, the situation is even more precarious, as those who are out of school are at greater risk of early marriage and pregnancy.

Our scholarship program addresses these challenges by providing high-achieving students with 100% tuition coverage to attend the best boarding secondary schools in the region. We also support students as they pursue their education beyond secondary, whether in technical training, university, or professional schools. To date, 181 students have benefitted from this life-changing program. In 2025, we awarded scholarships to 27 students, 50% of whom were girls. This year’s graduates earned certifications and degrees in fields such as engineering, electrical work, nursing, and tourism/hospitality.

• We make sure that you stay connected to your student with regular letters and academic reports. You can correspond with your student and even send small gifts if you choose to.
• You will know that they attend the best school we can find for them, and with our guidance and support, they are able to succeed with dropout rates kept to a minimum.
• We have experience and proven success: We have been supporting, scholars, often from very challenging backgrounds, for 29 years. When you invest in one of our students you can be confident that with our supervision and care your scholar will achieve the best outcome of which he or she is capable.
• We set high expectations, and we expect them to be met as scholarships are dependent on good behavior, hard work and good grades from our students, and we expect support and commitment from their families.

Contact our Executive Director, Marcy Doozan, at mdoozan@kasiisiproject.org if you're interested in sponsoring a student with a one-time gift or a 4-year commitment.
