What We Do
For Kids’ Sake International (FKSI) currently supports our partner in Bangladesh and Gambia, to provide food, clothing, shelter, education, healthcare and a safe environment for orphans. In addition, we provide scholarships to Southern Illinois high school graduates with $2,500 scholarships.
Along with donations, FKSI-supported facilities are financially sustained by local, income-generating projects that include: aquaculture, dairy farming, fruit and vegetable farming, irrigation services, ferryboat service and village market rentals. As well, these projects also provide vocational training for the children. Currently 130 Bangladeshis are employed by these facilities and projects of the Dayemi Foundation, helping to stimulate the local economy.
