An Announcement from the Management

To all friends who have or have not worked with us,

Please do not offer any financial help to anyone who claims to be working with KICVOP, unless you have consulted the management of KICVOP. We have received several cases of our former volunteers offering financial help to youngsters who claimed to be working with us. The money was in the end never recovered and wasted for some personal gains.

Please be also aware that KICVOP will not ask for any financial help from you either through the organisation or our employees. All people who are officially qualified to work with us have been listed on our website: www.kicvop.org

If you have any concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me,

Email Address: landonmeng@gmail.com

Best regards,

Landon
Programme Coordinator of KICVOP

How Much Does It Cost to Sponsor A Child in Kazo?

To sponsor a child in Kazo for a term in Primary, one needs to give up one of the followings,

33 Big Macs or 33 Starbucks Grande Cappuccinos:

18 packs of Morlboro;

5 visits to the London Eye;

1.5 month's unemployment benefit in the UK if you are single and over 25;

1 mid-range, non-flexible ticket to Paris on Eurostar from London or 1 month's unemployment benefit in the UK if both husband and wife cannot find a job;

 1/2 of an Ipod;

1/4 of an Iphone;

1/11 of the monthly income after tax from each of the bottom fifth of the households in the UK;

1/127 of the monthly salary of the prime minister of the UK;

or 1/274 of the monthly salary, without bonus, of a portfolio manager in a bank.

So how much will it cost for a mid-level civil servant in Uganda to afford a child to read a mid-level private secondary school for a term in the UK?

10 years' saving without any expenditure, and with no other options available.
