Sponsorship
The primary purpose of the school level sponsorship program is to prevent students from dropping out of the school due to poverty. This program is designed to encourage the students to come to school regularly and to make them to be in school until they finish the high school. The students are supervised by our field officers who ensure the sponsored students attend the schools regularly. The student's performance is monitored closely and their progress reports are sent to the sponsors end of each term.
Currently (2022) we have 570 students under our sponsorship program, out of which 370 are school students attending 76 different schools in 14 Education Zones in the Northern and Eastern Provinces and 200 are University students attending 18 different higher education institutions. All category of Sponsorships start either in January or in July.
