When we first met our children, they were studying in government schools whose standard is very low. They offer no lunch at school and most of the children would study on an empty stomach as their families could not afford a daily lunch for them. Additionally, it was exhausting for them to walk the long distance home for lunch and come back to school for the afternoon classes. Most of them also did not have school uniforms. However, as a result of this sponsorship programme, they now are getting a better quality education, they all have school uniforms and get lunch and break porridge at school. This has greatly increased their morale to study.
This term, as we continue to invest in the holistic development of the children that are presently in the programme, we have started on an expansion programme to enable us reach more OVC households and increase our impact in the community. Our work is now acknowledged by the local leaders who have appreciated the transformation in the children's lives.
We continue to greatly appreciate our sponsors and partners that have enabled us to reach this far. We believe that alone we can do something but together we can do great things.
We are now seeking sponsors for the new children that are being registered in the programme. Their photos and profiles will be posted here in a few days. With $30 per month you can sponsor a child and give them a better education to secure a better future. The package also includes empowering the household with an income generating project; health improvement, and spiritual/social development programmes for the children.
Here are some class time images from our visit at the school.
