Our education sponsorship program in Uganda is a powerful way to transform lives. By becoming a sponsor, you give a vulnerable child the chance to receive quality education, grow in confidence, and pursue their dreams—both inside the classroom and beyond. Your monthly support not only keeps a child in school, but also breaks the cycle of poverty for their entire family and community.
As a sponsor, you’ll have the unique opportunity to build a personal connection with the child you support—through letters, thoughtful gifts, and even in-person visits. It’s more than a donation—it’s a relationship that changes lives on both sides.
Every child listed below is waiting for a sponsor—someone to believe in their dreams and walk alongside them on their educational journey. Read their story, or sponsor them directly to start making a difference today.
These incredible children are full of potential. They just need the chance to shine. When you sponsor a child, you help cover school fees, mentorship, and more—and you become part of their story.

We collaborate with local schools, churches, and leaders to identify children who are at risk of dropping out due to poverty, illness, or loss of a caregiver, or who are not currently enrolled in school.
Families apply or are nominated. Our team conducts home visits and assessments to understand each child’s needs and circumstances.
We prioritize children based on:
Orphan or vulnerable status
Family income level
Disabilities or special needs
Academic commitment
Risk of early school dropout
Once selected, students are matched with a sponsor. Your support goes toward school fees and administrative costs. Each family is responsible to provide their own school uniforms and supplies, to help give the family ownership and accountability in the child’s education.
We stay involved through school visits and progress tracking. As a sponsor, you’ll receive regular updates, photos, and personal letters from the child you support.
Each sponsorship is reviewed yearly to ensure the child continues to meet the criteria and is thriving. Graduates are celebrated, and new students are welcomed.
Every child’s needs are different, and in some cases, more than one sponsor may support a single child to ensure they receive full care and education. Below is a breakdown of recommended monthly contributions based on the child’s age, needs, and schooling level:
Standard Sponsorship:
$40/month – Supports one child in primary school with tuition.
Special Needs Sponsorship:
$50/month – Supports a child with additional needs (e.g. deaf, disabled, or requires shelter through our program).
Teen Sponsorship (14+ years):
$80/month – Supports older children who face higher tuition fees and exam costs.
College Sponsorship:
$100/month – Supports students in vocational school or college/university.
One act of sponsorship doesn’t just change one life—it uplifts a whole community.
