Testimonies
I was one of the second cohort sponsored beneficiaries in KISMOS in
2021. I still remember [the staff] in KISMOS. They were really
hardworking and responsible, and those attributes helped me to also be
responsible, creative, and hardworking just like them. They also
guided me to be a better person.
Many thanks to Kisswa Minds Organization sponsors for giving us
benefits of the different programs they offer. My unforgettable
memories are the seminars and retreat activities. The biggest lesson
that I’ve learned from the different programs was to dream big and let
the challenges and obstacles in life push you to your full potential.
To donors and sponsors of KISMOS, thank you for your generosity and
kindness. You are making a big effort to have a better and sustainable
life. I’m a product of your help and my goal is to help those who are
also in need.

I became a sponsored student in 2020-21. Prior to joining Kisswa Minds
Organization, my parents were struggling to make ends meet.
Attending helped me to gain confidence and trust myself. I finished
college offering Catering and Hotel Management through African Ark
College of Management Sciences.The staff are easy to approach and
trusted our capabilities and skills.
Looking back, if I did not become part of KISMOS, my family would have
a hard time sending me to a college. I would like to thank all the
sponsors who supported me. Because of you, many children and youth
like me were able to graduate from college and had the opportunity to
reach for their dreams.
