Each child has a sponsor who pays all or part of each child's educational program for four years. Educational programs include tuition, uniforms, tutors and summer programs and cost approximately $3,500 per year. Sponsors receive the child's report card, thank you notes and artwork during the school year. Sponsors may meet their student or remain anonymous. The sponsor may also choose to become the Student's Mentor.

You can sponsor a child by contributing $3,500 per year for four years to pay for a child's tuition. You may also pool resources to sponsor a child. Donations of any amount are greatly appreciated and will go directly to a child's educational program.

Statistics show that a child is more likely to succeed if they know that someone is interested in their success.
