STUDENT SPONSORSHIP

Please read about our children
and consider making a contribution.
It usually cost about $100.00 per month to educate one child. Since that is such a large amount for most, we will accept a $25.00 monthly sponsorship for a child with the understanding there could be up to four sponsors for the same child. Thank you!
