KnowledgeBeat Testimonials

Scholarship Students

“KnowledgeBeat has promoted many changes in my high self esteem, I now receive high marks, and my thinking capacity has changed. The KnowledgeBeat team taught me if you think big- you end big.”
–Liness Nakanyika

“ I learned to depend on myself. Most girls from my village of Ngoma are now pregnant and married due to no self control and peer pressure. I may have been one of them if I did not have KnowledgeBeat to support me.”
–Memory Mungenisa

Girls Empowerment

“The KnowledgeBeat organization is doing a great job in Zambia. They have worked directly with the girls in our community who have a lot of peer pressure to get married and pregnant early. I see a difference in the girls, they stand up for themselves, they have power.“
–Ray Njase, Ngoma School student

“It is just incredible; my daughter comes home a different person. She is speaking so fast I can not keep up. All I know is that I must help her in whatever she now believes she can do.”
–Ngoma Father

“This program must not stop it must continue teaching us so that we finish school and start working to make a positive difference in the world.”
–Mercy Namukolo

HIV/AIDS Awareness

“I learned from KnowledgeBeat that we should care for the people with HIV/AIDS, to choose your partner wisely, and that I have the right to say NO. “
–Camp attendee

“It is important to know all the facts of HIV/AIDS, and to teach each other about how to stay safe so we can succeed in life.”
–Wainga Ng’andu, camp attendee and scholarship recipient

Environmental Health

“We have seen impact and change on how the children are looking after the environment. Children have stopped throwing around litter, taking care of the vegetation, and they have learned a lot about their surrounding environment.”
–Rejoice Haymoya, District Officer

“ In the competition I made a wind vane using papers, wires, and flour. All these things were taken from the litter that is thrown around which also contributes to global warming. It showed ne that all this litter that we see in our communities can be picked up and made recycled into different things, this can help us keep our environment clean.”
–Gesham, Science Fair Winner

KnowledgeBeat Team

“We are having a profound impact, we are already achieving what I never thought possible.”
–Macmen Luhana, Community Manager

“The girls come to camp with very little understanding about career options, social goals, and future dreams. Empowerment camps create self-starters and self-finishers in girls, and help them become independent thinkers with bigger visions.”
–Caroline Maambo, Camp Manager
