Our Mission
Our Mission is to break the cycle of poverty by providing financial support for educational needs of underprivileged children.
Many children in poor families are forced to drop out of school in order to work and provide for themselves and their families. Without an education or training, these children will continue to live in poor conditions into adulthood, perpetuating the cycle of poverty.
Who We Are
Education is the most powerful tool which you can choose to change the world
What We Do
Individual Sponsorship
Our operational arm in Iran, AYDM, carefully identifies and selects children in need, including Afghans, who show academic promise. KCIS is then responsible for matching these children with sponsors, who become their guardian angels supporting them through their educational journey. Taking a holistic approach, the money provided by the sponsors is used in different ways to provide maximum assistance to these children. Our assistance takes the shape of educational expenses, healthcare, emotional support, family counseling, and many other forms of help. We continually check on the status of these kids making sure to provide any environmental, financial, physical, mental and emotional support necessary for them to stay in school and continue their education without interruption, from elementary school to college.
Educational Group Projects
While staying rooted in our seminal mission of seeing children through their educational journey, we are committed to supporting and getting involved with a variety of educational group projects. Partnering with other carefully selected nonprofit organizations, KCIS provides the financial assistance necessary to accomplish an array of meaningful educational services in several impoverished regions of Iran.
KCIS invites benefactors to support children via the following programs ->
Once a child is matched with a sponsor, KCIS spins a cocoon of support and protection around that child throughout his/her education. Donations provided by sponsors pay for any thing that is needed for the child to stay in school instead of dropping out to support his/her family's financial needs. If desired, sponsors can also establish a one-on-one relationship with the child they have chosen to sponsor.
Sponsorship costs $600 for a full year ($50 per month or $1.65 per day). For this nominal amount, the sponsored child will be fully supported throughout the calendar year, receiving the following benefits:
- Monthly stipend
- Tuition assistance
- Book purchase
- Computer and laptop purchase
- University entrance exam perparatory courses
- Dental services
- Psychological services
- Annual Back to School gift cards
- Annual Nowruz gift cards
- Extracurricular programs such as:
- Language classes
- Computer classes
- Art/music and sports classes
