How It Works
Change the life of a child
What would your life be like without an education? For the communities we work with in East Africa, we have seen education give hope to children and their families for a brighter future. Through our student sponsorship program you can make a significant impact to a child and their family. Sponsoring a student at primary school in Kenya provides access to a quality education.
Their education journey begins in our Early Childhood Development (ECD) classroom and continues through to the completion of primary school (Standard 8) For a monthly contribution of US$50, you can give a student the life-changing gift of a quality education and be the bridge to their brighter future.
