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 children from very poor homes and have enrolled 70 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 school for the whole year!

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.
