Sponsorship for Kids

Until now we are working together with three schools:

• St,Mary’s school,
• St.George Orthodox
• Angel girls

We selected 20 kids per school for a start (60 kids in total). This will enable as establish and run things in order as we think of increasing the number as time goes by and if everything work out well.
Considering the fact that the children vary in age, size and sex we will be working with an average budget per kid. This will enable as know approximately how much is needed to sponsor one kid per year. The foundation will be budgeting for 19,000/= annually (yearly) per kid. The money will cater for the following: 

1. School fees for the whole year
2. A pair of uniform
3. School seater
4. Pair of shoes
5. 2 Pairs of Socks
6. Half dozen of exercieses book
7. Backpack
8. Medical care
9. Annual Christmas Party
10. School Trip

Sponsorship is the back bone and major activity in the program. Under this umbrella we will be looking for kids who are total orphans, single parented and very needy to be beneficiaries. This will be done in a very exclusive way so that we have the right kids to support. The foundation will be providing the following:

• Payment of school fees (half or full payment) depending on the available cash and sponsor's ability.
• Provide full school uniform every year i.e. shoes, sweater and uniform.
• Provide school stationaries (not guaranteed) through donations or if the sponsor is willing to provide. i.e. books, backpack, pens, rulers. 
• Birthday parties and presents for the kids if only the sponsor wants that and willing to support
• Other donations and presents from sponsors to the kid are allowed.
