Sponsorship
Make a Difference Today
Child sponsorship is all about making a long term difference in the life of a child. Through an education you are empowering a child to make a better life for themselves and their community with an opportunity to rise above poverty.
Specifically, a sponsorship provides financial assistance for the health, education and general welfare of orphaned and disadvantaged children. Through child sponsorship you are providing children with an opportunity for a quality education, daily meals, clothing, and medical care. Without sponsorship they would not have access this opportunity.
Your child will attend a Catholic school, run by the local religious, indigenous men and women who understand the particular needs related to the child.
The cost for sponsorship depends upon the type of program you select:
