An Update from Loneliness, a child protected and nourished by your gifts to Temwani

PaKachele Primary School Student - Grade 5

Loneliness writes, “My grandmother depends on selling vegetables for livelihood and that makes life very difficult

because sometimes she sells very little then we have no food at home. Pakachele School is helping me a lot because … they

provide us with books to write in, pens, pencils, everything that I need for school. They give me food to eat and some clothes. I now look better than before I came ... I have learnt to be a good child

... and a better person in the future. ”

I first met a shy girl named Loneliness in 2011. I walked with her down the dirt path that led from PaKachele School to her grandmother’s cobbled-together block home. Her grandmother labored to care for her and many of her cousins. Loneliness had never met her father and struggled with the domestic tasks and childcare duties that regularly made her late for school. A recent update, written in her own words, shows a determined 13 year-old survivor who has overcome the challenges reflected in her own sad name.

Loneliness’ story shares similar themes with other PaKachele School students, who are almost all either orphans and/or living on less than $1/day).

Temwani continues to support PaKachele School because of its record of success. With your heartfelt donation, join hands with the Temwani Children’s Foundation to keep the important safety net of this loving school open for 2016!

8% of deaths of children under 5, and 11% of all deaths in Zambia are due to inadequate access to safe water and sanitation.1

In rural neighborhoods, families must often walk long distances to retrieve water, and this responsibility is mostly left to women, young girls and children.2

A 7th grade student writes that before attending PaKachele School, “I was not doing well in class. I did not even know how to read when I reached Grade 5.” Now after 3 years at PaKachele, she loves learning and especially the teachers as they under-stand her challenges. She finishes, “Now I really want to continue with my education.”

Temwani Children’s Foundation is committed to supporting PaKachele School and the 240 children who depend on it for education, food, counseling, love and protection. The school’s reach goes far beyond the children themselves, to touch 1,500 staff, families and members of the community.

With a new afterschool Carpentry Program, workshops in child abuse and human trafficking prevention, and future plans for better playgrounds, after school clubs, and teacher trainings, there is a bright future ahead! The current level of donations enable Temwani to fund only half of the school’s needs each year, with little guarantee of meeting future needs. Your generous gift will keep the doors to the school open! $50,000
