10th Anniversary
Events
2008 marks the 10th Anniversary of Cecily's Fund and to celebrate this achievement we are planning an epic year of fundraising and we need your help. Why not take part in the Big Smiley Weekend on the 17th and 18th of May? And for all you outdoor enthusiasts we have a special challenge to cover 10,000 miles, the approximate distance of a route from Oxford to Lusaka, in sponsored walks. Check out the foot-o-meter at the top of the page to see how we're doing!
Achievements
From small beginnings, we have steadily expanded over 10 years to be able to help more and more Zambian children orphaned by AIDS.
Here are some of the milestones that make us smile:
• Helped over 10,000 orphaned children to go to school
• Trained 240 orphaned school-leavers to become peer health educators and inform their peers about the risk of HIV infection
• Run weekly workshops for over 7,000 school children each year to raise their awareness about HIV/AIDS
• Provided over 700 uniforms, 2,500 pairs of shoes and 5,200 books and pens a year to school children
• Supported 33 orphans through teacher training college
• Supported orphans in 67 different state schools through primary and secondary education
• Fully funded Bwafwano community school since 2002
• We are the largest non-governmental direct provider of educational support in Zambia
• Our dedicated supporters have given thousands of orphans in Zambia something to smile about
