WHY Sponsor a child?

Many of our students come from disadvantaged backgrounds, with families unable to afford basic necessities like school fees, uniforms, meals, and learning materials. By sponsoring a child, you help to break the cycle of poverty by providing:

 

Access to Quality Education: Your sponsorship covers tuition fees, ensuring the child can attend school and focus on their studies.

School Supplies: Sponsored children receive essential learning materials such as textbooks, exercise books, pens, and pencils.

Nutritious Meals: Many children in our program rely on school meals as their primary source of nutrition. Your support helps to sustain our feeding program, giving children the nourishment they need to learn and grow.

Personal Development: Beyond academics, sponsored children benefit from pastoral care and counseling, supporting their emotional and social well-being.
