Child Sponsorship
Through child sponsorship, CiCA provides ongoing support to children on their educational journey. With a monthly contribution of £30 ($40), you can help a child access education and support their family with essential needs like food. Our dedicated teams identify the most vulnerable children, including those orphaned or living with HIV, offering them a chance for a brighter future. Join our Sponsorship Program and make a lasting difference in a child’s life.
Higher Education
After completing their school education, CiCA provides opportunities for higher education and training, helping young people take control of their lives and positively impact their families. We offer full or part sponsorships for specific individuals on designated courses, and welcome contributions to our bursary fund to provide scholarships to students on our waiting list. Costs for courses vary, with a nursing diploma typically costing around £1,000 ($1,300) per year for a three-year program.
Charity Fund
At CiCA, we offer one-time support in emergency situations like resit and exam fees or medical expenses. We understand the challenges families face and are committed to helping them overcome obstacles with our Charity Fund. Every donation, no matter how small, makes a significant impact on a child’s life.
We are incredibly proud of our success stories at CiCA.
Edmund has completed his nursing course, and Teverai is now working for the Zambian National Broadcasting Corporation after completing his journalism training. They, along with many other young people, have seized the opportunity for higher and vocational education, and their achievements inspire us all.
My Story
I grew up in Kenya’s western Mt. Elgon district near the border with Uganda, where my Grandma took care of me since I was a little girl. Unfortunately, my Father was killed during the 2008 land conflicts in our area, and my Mother disappeared. Life hasn’t been easy for us; we live in a small mud dwelling on the side of the mountain. Despite my Grandma’s efforts, she couldn’t afford to send me to secondary school, crushing my dreams. However, CiCA UK stepped in to support me during my secondary education, giving me hope for a brighter future.
Moses
CiCA UK proudly supported Moses throughout his university journey, covering his course fees and accommodation costs. With dedication and perseverance, Moses successfully completed his degree in Chemistry in 2021, paving the way for his career as a full-time industrial chemist in a copper mine in Zambia
