2024 Sponsored Students Project Page

Our child sponsorship programme is making a huge difference for some extremely needy children.  

These are real kids--most with heart-breaking backstories filled with challenges.

Our sponsors, as far as we're concerned, are real-life heroes.  Giving a child a chance to attend school with all of the necessary supplies, meals provided, medical needs looked after, and fees covered is a gift like no other!

At this point in time, our youngest sponsored students are in JHS 1. Our focus shifted to helping students get beyond Dekpor Basic School. For the vast majority of JHS 3 (equivalent to grade 9 in Ontario) graduates, they will end up with the depressing prospect of remaining a subsistence farmer for the rest of their lives.  Sponsored students, on the other hand, learn a trade and have the opportunity to be educated, graduate, and get a job in their vocational field.

This year we have FOUR university students being sponsored! These are all young adults who have been with us for a long time, who have proven time and time again that they have the smarts and dedication to deserve this incredible opportunity.

A massive thank you to the many, many student sponsors who are helping our kids! Over 65 students are being helped this year!
