We tirelessly network with schools, non-profit organisations, orphanages and other institutions to seek out high-achieving girls who are vulnerable or disadvantaged and meet our scholarship criteria.
As the most vulnerable age is between 12-13 when they leave junior school to progress into high school (girls who do not progress to high school will most certainly live a life of poverty, be vulnerable to child marriage, prostitution and trafficking). We do not have an age limit on the girls we assist with scholarships, but we primarily focus on girls progressing into High School.
Currently Kusasa is working in Zimbabwe, but as we grow and depending on demand and the ability to find suitable partners, funders and sponsors, we would love to expand and help more girls.
All the donations that come to Kusasa are used for Kusasa. We seek to ensure that at least 80% of the fees go toward the education of girls and their schooling costs. The balance is used to support our admin fees, website and social media costs, fund-raising costs and costs to find the girls for the programme.
We love to hear from anyone who wants to help us (info@kusasa.africa). We appreciate the help of volunteers, mentors, course leaders, tutors, all are welcome to help us ensure that these girls get the very best support and opportunities. Assistance in helping us raise funds through fund-raisers, such as walks, cycles, cake sales, donations, etc are also sincerely welcome, see our home page for more information.
We have multiple ways in which you can pay quickly, securely and easily. Pay via PayPal, Credit Card, Bank Transfer (free in European countries) and EcoCash (Zimbabwe). Find payment details on our Home page
