Our Supporters
We receive 100% of our operating budget from private individuals and foundations who value our direct approach, transparent operating model and long-term track record in helping children in need. We are enormously grateful to the many donors, volunteers and supporters who have given in various ways to make possible the work of The Kusasa Project. Because you care, the lives of incredible children, their families and their communities benefit.
Teachers change lives: Our biggest need is and always will be for good teachers. Paying the salary of a good educator for a year ensures that every child that comes into contact with that teacher benefits from his/her experience, expertise and care. We seek to recruit and retain the best, most energetic and caring teachers possible.
Each member of our team has been recruited for their skills, fit with their teammates and belief in our mission, sacrificing careers in more established schools (private and government) or commercial businesses, for the chance to put their talents to use changing lives of poor children.
