You can sponsor a child to
receive an education
that will allow him/her to live a better life.
"Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world."
~Nelson Mandela
"Children need to get a high-quality education, avoid violence and the criminal-justice system, and gain jobs. But they deserve more. We want them to learn not only reading and math, but fairness, caring, self-respect, family commitment, and civic duty."
~Colin Powell
If you would like to sponsor a specific child, please put his/her name in the Special instructions on your PayPal Donation.
THE GIRL’S & BOY'S DORM ARE COMPLETE. THE CHILDREN WILL BE ABLE TO LIVE AT THE SCHOOL DURING THE YEAR AND BE SAFE FROM PREDATORS WHO MIGHT HARM THEM AS THEY WALK ALONE TO AND FROM SCHOOL.
Sponsorships are $390 yearly

ANY AMOUNT IS HELPFUL, EVEN A DOLLAR WHEN COMBINED WITH OTHERS DOLLARS CAN BUILD A DREAM...
