COMMUNITY SCHOLARSHIP
The Community Scholarship Programme
The community scholarship programme is our most urgent appeal yet! Our main objective is to drive down the numbers of out-of-school-children in Sub-Saharan Africa. Starting from Amaimo, we’re offering scholarships to some of the most promising children and children from very poor financial backgrounds. We have now enrolled 140 children from seven community schools into our Community Scholarship Programme.
To help promote gender balancing for equal opportunities, we aim to sponsor five boys and five girls in each school and pay their learning costs until they graduate into secondary school. It costs just $61 to sponsor a child for a whole year including tuition fees, textbooks and writing materials, school uniforms, shoes and bags. $610 can help keep ten children learning in each class of all the schools for the whole year!

Meet our little Star – Delight. He is in Primary 1 and loves going to school. Delight dreams of becoming a lawyer to, in his own words, “defend the poor people…”
Delight is a delightsome little boy and one of the beneficiaries of our community scholarship programme. He is the third child of a family of six children who are all being cared for by their Father following the demise of their mother. Delight’s father speaks of his struggles with raising six children, including a three year old boy, as a single father in a rural community.
Our Child Sponsorship Scheme – an offshoot of the Community Scholarship Programme
To upscale our work beyond Amaimo to more communities across Sub-Saharan Africa, we have now launched the Child Sponsorship Scheme, an offshoot of our Community Sponsorship Programme. We’re reaching out to some of our generous sponsors for financial support, or to directly sponsor the children and working together with our new partners in Ghana, Uganda and Sierra Leone to enrol children into school in these countries.
