The Cost of Sponsoring a Teen
Sponsoring a teen in Ruhija costs just $300 per year of secondary school (or $100 per term three times a year).
100% of your donation will be used to send a child to school and will cover their expenses for boarding, food, uniforms, textbooks, and stationery supplies.
Most sponsors continue their donations each year to watch their student ultimately graduate!
One-time & Monthly Donations
Custom donations are welcome as well for any dollar amount. You can choose to donate one-time or update the recurrence to monthly. We use additional funds to help the school with other needs. Since 2018 we have funded community gardens to expand students’ diets, given potatoes that they now grow and harvest to sell, provided chickens for them to raise for food and reproduction. With additional donations we can continue with these additional projects to help the students.

Together we can change a teen’s life and help break the cycle of poverty.
We are working hard to change both the mindset and accessibility of secondary school for teens in Ruhija, Uganda.
We are actively seeking sponsors who can support teens in Uganda by providing funds for secondary school and then college as they follow their individual dreams.
Without financial support, these children in Uganda have little chance of escaping the poverty they are born into. Currently, their parents do not recognize the value of education, nor can they afford it. In Uganda, secondary education (equivalent to high school in the USA) is primarily for boys as parents place more value on them. Many times girls are married off to an older man to produce children.
