immediate action

In january, kikidi received the official accreditation for a-level. Students no longer need to go to an expensive school in the city to obtain their secondary school degree. The can now also follow the fifth and sixth year in their own school. But imagine: obtaining promising school results in the fourth year of secundary school (o-level in uganda), but nevertheless being unable to continue studying in the fifth and sixth year (a-level in uganda) because your parents are unable to pay the entire school fee. that is the brutal reality for some students at kidiki ss. but now there is the kidiki ss-jos kuppens-foundation. the foundation provides (1) partial financial compensation after passing the entrance examination, (2) 50% student contribution, 50% foundation contribution, (3) permanent evaluation, en (4) written agreement with student(s) on conditions and amount received.

What can you do?

  • you can contribute. individually or in group.
