Why Sponsor A Child?
Why Sponsor A Child?
Because there is no free education in Uganda, most families cannot afford to send their children to school. Sponsored children can attend school without worrying about getting “chased away” due to lack of money for tuition.
Part of each child’s tuition goes towards any minor medical care the child may need while attending school.
Attending school guarantees a child one good meal each day. Many times, this may be their only meal!
After school, a sponsor can choose to continue supporting the child, allowing them to pursue further education through university or attend vocational school. This ongoing support helps the child acquire life skills that will enable them to sustain themselves and thrive.
Sponsors receive letters from their sponsored child and are encouraged to write and send photos in return. The children thrive on feeling loved and known by someone across the globe.
Sponsors will receive handwritten letters and even drawings from their child throughout the year.
Sponsors receive a yearly photo of their sponsored child to watch them mature and grow.
Engage Hope offers several trips to Uganda annually to allow sponsors to meet your child in person. We promise you will not return unchanged!
Child Sponsorship Works!
Our partners at African Hearts said it best, "Sponsorship is more than just educating a child. It builds self-assurance, personal aspirations, self-esteem, and leadership qualities. Much-documented evidence shows that correspondence with sponsors elevates the students' academic results even further."
