When you sponsor a child, 100% of your money goes to pay the tuition fees for that child so they can attend school. This is an enormous help to the child and the child’s family. Sometimes, it enables a student to continue schooling (without your sponsorship, they wouldn’t be able to go to school at all). Other times, it offers financial relief to the family so that they can use the money that would have gone to paying tuition to other necessities such as food and rent. The majority of the families in this area are barely getting by, living day to day for food and other needs.
