Sponsor a child or a school
Individual or group sponsorship, a commitment to children
Sponsoring a child means making a long-term commitment to support them throughout their life as a primary or secondary school child, or university student. Sponsoring a child is a personal commitment that allows you to forge strong links with your sponsored child: you receive one or two letters or drawings a year from them, and you are kept informed of their school results and educational progress. You can also send them letters, which are then delivered by our local partners.
The children we sponsor come from very poor families who are unable to pay their own school fees.
Individual sponsorship in Benin
You can sponsor a child in one of the villages of Boukoumbé or Natitingou in the north of Benin and support them in their education. The schoolchildren are identified by the field teams of our local partner, Les Mille Lucioles.
