We’re excited to announce that this year we are launching a new Child Sponsorship Program that will enable sponsors to provide direct support for the tuition fees for children in Ongutoi village at the Samaritan Nursery and Primary School and at in-development Bill O'Connell Classroom Block for middle schoolers. Sponsorship makes it possible for a student to attend school 12 months a year, providing housing, education, food, medical care, and clothing. The annual target is to have 95 children sponsored in order to deliver on the current need of the community.
Annual tuition is $250/yr and sponsorship can be broken down to $22/mo.For those that would like to participate, the donation is tax deductible and payment is through PayPal on the day of your choosing. Check and money order are available as well.
To learn more, please visit our Child Sponsor Program page, where we outline the structure of the program and how you can participate. First step is to complete our Child Sponsorship Form.
And we are now happy to report that our first set of children have been sponsored. This represents a big step and one we are very grateful to share. Our coordinator, Ruth, has already organized the initial correspondence between the sponsors and the children sending out letters and photos to provide updates. Thanks to all who have supported these efforts, and more news to follow!
