Sponsor a Child
The main aim of the project is ensuring long-term school attendance by donating a regular amount of money to a child, which will be used exclusively for covering anything needed for schooling (uniforms, books, meals, school services, stationery etc.). You will get to track the development of the child through time.
With the help of the school management board and community leaders, we are following a series of criteria to identify the school children who are most in need. These include orphans, poor families, children with disabilities, neglected learners, immigrant families.
How does it work?
- Contact us – tell us that you want to sponsor a child and give us any relevant information regarding your preferences (if you have any).
- We will then send you the details of the child you choose to support and a leaflet with everything you need to know about the sponsorship programme.
- Donate the yearly sum (420 EUR) or the monthly sum (35 EUR) that will cover the child’s needs. Always remember to enter the name of the child when doing the payment. To make it easier for you, turn on your recurring payment option for this.
- Get in contact with family – exchange letters and photos whenever you want. Make video calls, or even plan your trip to Kenya to meet the family.
- Track the school situation whenever you want, by contacting us.
Why sponsor?
Because by doing this you will enable continued support as children grow and learn
What do you get in return?
Besides knowing that you are contributing to changing a life to the better? You get updates and transparency
