How does it help?
All money that is raised will go directly toward programs that benefit the students and their families. This includes tuition payments, school supplies (paper, pencils, examination books, etc.), boarding supplies (school uniform, shoes, mattress, hand soap, toothpaste, etc.), meals, and a family stipend that keeps families together and encourages parents to leave their children in school. There is no payroll at KCF, and so all money is focused on education and on helping the students and their families help themselves. The Kittelson Charitable Foundation works from the premise that education is the key to independent success – the kind of success that ultimately empowers each individual to change not just their own world, but our world too.
