Get to know Henry

 

Henry is 16-yrs-old and will be starting Grade 9 in 2026 at Kazungula Boarding School. Henry’s favorite subject is Maths and when he grows up, he wants to become a police officer!

Unfortunately, Henry’s parents dropped out of school at a young age, as did his older brother. They therefore struggle to obtain jobs to support Henry and his 4 siblings. Henry’s goal is to stay in school so that he can be the first person in his family to finish his education and have a successful career!

While boarding school is a bit more costly, those selected often have a higher chance of reaching University. Rest assured, Henry will make the most of his time in school and will always strive to study hard. Sponsor Henry today and help him open doors to more opportunities!

  • Poverty In Zambia

    Unlike most places in the developed world, education is not free to the public in Zambia. All students are required to pay school fees as well as purchase a school uniform, shoes, and other supplies, which many families cannot afford. In times of crisis, impoverished children are especially vulnerable and face several challenges. Girls who are unable to attend school have a high risk of becoming pregnant or being forced into marriage, whereas boys have a high risk of underage drinking, smoking, and becoming involved in petty crime. By sponsoring a child you are giving them access to life-changing programs and support.
