Sponsorships
We would like to give you a personal connection to our school and provide even more targeted support to the children most in need. That's why we have decided to offer sponsorships.
With our sponsorships, you have the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of children. We want to help very needy families by relieving them of school fees so that they can use the little money they have to live on. By sponsoring a child, you will be supporting the neediest children in our school. There are also some orphans who could really use your help. The money goes into a general bursary fund which provides financial support to all the children at the school who need it. It is used to cover the children's school fees, food and general supplies. As more than one child can benefit from a sponsorship, you are supporting the whole community.
A sponsorship costs CHF 20 per month or CHF 240 per year.
Please read our FAQ and regulations carefully.

FAQ and regulations
What are the benefits of a sponsorship?
You can provide several children with an education and help them achieve a better future. Additionally, your sponsorship supports the entire community, contributing to many positive changes!
Can I maintain direct contact with the sponsored children?
No, direct contact is not possible.
However, you will receive a letter from the children twice a year and be informed about the school.
The protection of the children is our top priority; therefore, we have strict guidelines in place.
Can I visit the sponsored children and the school?
Personal meetings with children are not allowed.
In general, visits to the school are possible and welcome. This way, you can get a personal impression on site. Please feel free to contact us for this purpose.
Can I send any amount of money I want?
No, the donation amounts are fixed. If you would like to donate a larger amount, you can take out another sponsorship or make a general donation to the school.
What happens to the sponsorship after graduation?
We strive to support the children throughout their entire education, including beyond our school. Otherwise, there is a risk that they may not be able to attend a secondary school after completing primary education, which would significantly limit their future prospects. The fees for secondary schools are much higher, which is why the children depend on further assistance from us.
What if a supported child changes schools or no longer comes to school?
We cannot guarantee that all children will complete their entire schooling with us. In Kenya, it can always happen that children suddenly stop going to school for various reasons. Of course, we try to prevent this from happening so that they do not have a gap in their education. However, if this does happen, the remaining children will benefit from the amount.
How do I pay for the sponsorship?
There are three options. You can set up a standing order through your e-banking, make an annual payment with Twint, or have a monthly amount (account required) or the total amount debited via Paypal with a credit card.
