What is child sponsorship?
Sponsoring a child is a wonderful way to help change the life of a child in need and bring hope to his or her entire community. By becoming a sponsor you will provide desperately needed opportunities to children with incredible potential. In addition, you will be making a personal investment, building a relationship with your God and beneficiary and his or her family, and joining a family of “life-givers” around the world who share your commitment to change the world, one child at a time.
The impact even small donations can make to a child and his or her family in Cameron in which we operate is enormous. The average cost to send one Cameron child to school (fees, uniforms, books, school supplies, etc,) for ages 5 to 12 is only $100, and around $200 for ages 13 to 18. For many families in Cameron, where the average household income is less than $1.50 a day, these expenses can be overwhelming, leading to kids starting school later in their lives and/or dropping out of school completely.
The world’s future leaders are today’s children and youth, and Africa is not an exception. Many families and schools in Cameron do not have the needed resources to ensure that the children are able to attend school and graduate, as well as receive a quality education. We are reinforcing and boosting education by providing the badly-needed supporting structure and resources. This includes the provision of scholarships, uniforms, and school supplies.
In many instances, due to persistent and conflicting demands that families face daily, the education of children is given lower priority in terms of family needs. In some instances to help ensure that the kids stay in school, we ensure that school needs are taking care of by directly paying for school fees, sewing uniforms / distribute school supplies etc
Thanks for your kindness and generosity.
