Sponsorship

There are many orphans in Rwanda who cannot attend school as they cannot afford the fees. We therefore set up a project to enable members of the public to sponsor them to attend school.

For as little as £20 to £30 per month, you can make a massive difference to the life of a young person in Rwanda. Sponsors are encouraged to keep in touch with their sponsored child by exchanging correspondence, family photos, and birthday and Christmas cards/presents. Some sponsors have even visited their child in Rwanda and witnessed other projects taking place there. Let’s meet some of them and hear what they say:

"I have just graduated from the School of Finance and Business. My sponsor has helped me for 6 years through secondary school and now into higher education. Without them my future would have been very bleak but now the future is bright. I am very grateful to them."

She is very talented  and has her mother's skills. She is also a very bright student who is hoping to win a scholarship to university. Many items made by her & her mother Floride are shown in the handicraft section. Purchasing of  these items will also help to feed & clothe 3 orphans who have been taken into their home.

How the sponsorship program works?

STEP 1: Once you have informed us that you would like to sponsor a child using the sponsorship form, we will discuss with you the details of a suitable young person.

STEP 2: Once a suitable person has been identified, you will set up a standing order into our bank account for the required monthly amount. If you prefer to use payroll giving then this may be possible too.

STEP 3: You will receive a photograph and details of the sponsored child and then a yearly update on the student’s progress.

PLEASE NOTE THAT WE WOULD USUALLY EXPECT A YOUNG PERSON TO BE SPONSORED FOR AROUND 3 OR 4 YEARS SO HE OR SHE CAN GRADUATE SECONDARY SCHOOL OR HIGHER EDUCATION RESPECTIVELY.
