BACKGROUND:

Medred's parents struggle to cover school costs, like many other rural families. She is also restricted from accessing a full education, due to cultural gender stereotypes, expecting her to be a house maid. This denies her the opportunity to develop essential skills and knowledge for future success. Despite these obstacles, Medred has a dream of becoming a tour guide once she completes her education. This aspiration reflects her personal interest. It also signifies her desire for economic empowerment and professional growth beyond traditional gender roles. By aspiring to become a tour guide, she seeks to break barriers and carve out a path that aligns with her passions and ambitions.

You can sponsor Medrek for $60 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.

Enquiries? Please call in to Jambo Sana, 72 Main Rd, Nairne, or phone our office Wednesday to Friday 0881880398 or email hope@ahi.org.au

Thankyou for Caring!
