Background:

Fortunate was born into a broken family. Her father is an alcoholic and he has a disability where he is lame / unable to walk. Fortunate’s mother has the difficult task of making sure the family is standing, feeding her 5 children and her hopes of educating her 5 children are limited due to low income. The mother is a peasant and the little money she earns is used to pay rent and also to access basic needs for the family. They live in a single roomed muddy house. The family does not have any poultry or domestic animals and they feed on two hot meals a day. Fortunates desire and zeal for an education is unmatched and she moves a long distance to attend school. She dreams of becoming a doctor after her studies.

You can sponsor Fortunate for $50 per month.

ABOUT YOUR NEW SPONSORSHIP


To sponsor a child or class, complete the form above with your contact details, naming the child or class, and their number.


We will be in touch by email and forward a form for filling in your payment details and other information. You can scan, fill in and email back to our office, or take a photo on your phone and send to us.


Soon, you will receive an introductory letter from your selected child or class / teacher from Africa, and a beautiful profile card of your child/class.


African children love receiving letters from you, as well as a photo of your family. These can be scanned and emailed to our office for forwarding to our partner in Africa who will print and deliver your letter.


Sponsored children can be visited in country depending on their local environment at the time, your visa, or permit to enter a refugee settlement and arrangements with our African project partner.


Please note: every African child wants to be a doctor or a lawyer, a pilot or an engineer! Your sponsorship may not get them that far, however, they will have a brighter future, whether they complete secondary, tertiary or a vocational course.


It is good to be aware that sometimes children leave the region and are lost from our program, others are forbidden to continue study, some are forced into early marriage and occasionally some die. We hope that your sponsoring experience will be a long and rewarding one.
