Child Sponsorship

Our unique child sponsorship programme does more than just help a child go to school indefinitely - it supports an entire family for three years. A child will be supported with scholastics, a uniform and a lunch enabling them to attend school while their caregiver will join one of our Farming Groups, where they will learn conservation farming and business skills. 

At the end of the three-year period, families are self sufficient; farmers have at least doubled crop yield and will be earning enough to feed their children, pay for medicine, send their children to school, and plan for a brighter future. Just three years of sponsorship means full tummies, educated children, happy families and stronger communities - forever.
