Change a child’s life with the gift of education.
Education is vital to breaking the cycle of poverty, yet globally more than 64 million children of primary school age remain out of school.​

Be the reason a child can start school
Sponsor a Child in Uganda
This September, we launched a Child Sponsorship Campaign to give 30 children on our waiting list the opportunity to start primary school. Thanks to the incredible generosity of our community, we’re delighted to share that 7 children from our waiting list have been enrolled into primary school!
​
The need doesn’t end here. Many more children in rural Uganda are still waiting for the chance to learn. Can you help us change a child’s future?
£28 a month would sponsor a primary school student.
​
Your support could turn a child’s dreams of learning into a reality!
​
Why do it?
As a child sponsor, you can make a huge difference to the life of a vulnerable child by giving them the gift of education and providing them hope for a bright future.
Sponsoring a child costs £28 a month. Your monthly gift will cover the cost of school fees as well as necessities like shoes, uniform, school books, pencils, medical care, school meals and anything else they need. We allocate children to sponsors depending on the needs and family situation of the child, starting with the neediest child first.
What's included
We want to share just how your monthly gift of £28 will be spent, so you know every penny is helping your sponsored child have a brighter future…
School fees
1 in 3 children are forced to drop out of education because they can't afford school fees. Families living in poverty have an impossible decision to make between sending their children to school, putting food on the table and keeping a roof over their heads. Your monthly gift will pay for the school fees for the child you’re supporting, keeping them in the classroom, where they should be!
Uniforms & Equipments
In Uganda, it’s up to the child’s family to provide the books, pens, pencils, and uniform. Children are even expected to bring their own toilet roll! This becomes yet another barrier to children accessing education and again means that those who are living in poverty are forced to miss out on an education. Pens, books, uniforms and bags are all covered thanks to your monthly gift.
Healthcare & Counselling
Children growing up in Kampala’s slums can face trauma and may need emotional and practical support. Your monthly gift will provide access to counselling. They will be regularly visited by a member of our team in Uganda who can check in and provide any support they may need.
School meals
Children can’t learn on an empty stomach! Your monthly gift will make sure that for every day they’re at school, they are given a healthy, nutritious meal. This daily meal will help your sponsored child grow up strong, healthy and ready for the bright future ahead of them.
