Sponsors Needed

The program has grown from two children in 2006, to now more than 60 children. There are still some orphans in the area who need your help. We were temporally able to pay for the school needs for these children however we are still looking for sponsors to support them on a long-term basis.

If you would like more information about these children, please feel free to contact us on the email above.

Currently we feel the following local children are in the greatest need of support:

Aquila is 17 years old and is in Form 5 of secondary school. Her mother died in 2002. She lives with her elderly father, who is very weak and therefore unable to work. Aquila and four other children are all supported by one aunt who lives with them, even though she does not have a regular job. Aquila is very smart and holds the 4th position in class.

Emmanuel is 10 years old and is in Class Three. His father died only a few months ago and even though his mother is alive, she is very sick. Emmanuel's mother who is severely handicapped, is the only adult supporting his needs.

Collins is 7 years old and currently in Class Three. His mother died in 2002 and his father died in 2005. He lives with his grandmother, who is the only adult supporting both Collins and his sister.

Gillian is 11 years old and is in Class Five. Her father died in 2001 and her mother died in 2004. She is currently living with her aunt.

The Sponsor an Orphan Project is urgently seeking funds to the pay the salary of two part-time teachers for the After School Education Programme. Because of lack of support at home, the orphans often struggle to pass their exams and performing well at school. Therefore, we would like to hire a part-time teacher for children attending primary school and one teacher for children attending secondary school. To be able to hire these two teachers, we must be able to raise 550 Euros in total. This amount will cover the salary for both teachers for the entire year of 2011.

Furthermore, we are also looking for donors for the Project Support Fund. The support fund helps us to run the program and pays for the admin costs, equipment for the office or the ASEP (After School Education Program). These funds ensure that the project will continue to run in an effective manner in order to serve the underprivileged in the Belo community. If you would like to send a monthly or a one-time donation, please contact us.
