Sponsorship

You may wish to sponsor someone whether they are children, adults or a family living in conditions needing your help to assume their full potential. We support people who quite often are homeless, widows who do not have a supporter, children whose parents do not earn enough to cover their basic needs of food, shelter and education.

 

 

Here are some ideas for your sponsorship:

  • Providing some meals and for the homeless on regular basis would cost around $20 per person per day.
  • Providing assistance to young carer and the disabled persons.
  • Providing a donation for income generating activity  - You may wish to enable someone to:
  • start or revive their business,
  • learn sowing and get a sewing machine,
  • get a pregnant cow,
  • get a small herd of sheep, goats, chicken, turkeys or ducks,
  • rent a parcel of land to produce some vegetables,
  • get tools and equipment for hairdressing, or
  • get trained and obtain a cell phone repair kit.

 The cost for any of the above ides ranges from $100 to $2,500.

  • Providing a donation for enabling a family to get electricity or water and toilet for their house.  An average cost of a latrine is $270 and for clean water tap is $214.
  • Giving the gift of reading to someone who missed their schools and became illiterate.  This activity normally cost around $160.
  • Providing financial assistance for a family whose one or both of their parents have chronic disease such as cancer, hepatitis B or C, liver failure, kidney/ failure or heart failure.  On average, a family of four people would need $100-150 per month.
