In many developing nations, the cost of school fees and ancillary expenses place a very heavy, and sometimes impossible, burden on poorer families. Too many children are forced to abandon their education in order to find a (badly-paid) job to try to support their family.

Sponsorship will immediately change a child's education for the better. By paying for items such as school fees, additional tuition, or buying uniforms and books, child sponsorship can enable a child to attend school and prepare effectively for examinations. Education is one path to success.

Imagine the effect if just one of the Programme's children goes on to become a professional or skilled person as a direct consequence of sponsorship? That one child, once an adult, will have a beneficial influence on his/her own family, and as a result, the extended family, and eventually the immediate local community in which that family resides. This is the mushroom effect. It is an extremely powerful way of achieving change. By making a donation you can help make that change happen.
