Sponsor a Child

Child Sponsorship Program

Helping children stay in school

In September 2023, we launched our Child Sponsorship Program, designed to give disadvantaged children the opportunity to stay in school and receive a quality education. By connecting them with caring sponsors, we provide the financial support and guidance they need to grow academically and personally.

This program not only helps children break the cycle of poverty, but also strengthens community bonds and encourages shared responsibility. Join us in making a meaningful difference in the lives of these children and giving them the chance to build a brighter, more hopeful future.

How it works

At Garizim Foundation, our Child Sponsorship Program aims to give children from disadvantaged families the chance to dream, learn, and thrive. Here’s how it works:

Call for sponsors

August-September

Each year in August, we open a call for sponsors. Individuals or groups who are interested fill out an expression-of-interest form, participate in a training session, and commit to supporting a child’s education.

Match sponsors & kids

September

Based on the number of sponsors, we select children from vulnerable families who show motivation and potential at school. This allows us to ensure that each child we enroll receives comprehensive support.

Enrollment & purchases

September - October

We use the funds provided by sponsors to pay school fees, purchase supplies and uniforms, and prepare the children for the school year.

Mentoring & follow up

November - June

Our volunteer field agents and mentors visit the families regularly, encourage the children in their studies, and ensure that resources are being used effectively. They also help the children set goals, build confidence, and stay motivated.

Community engagement

Year round

Families commit to supporting their children’s education and collaborating with the mentors, while teachers and the community provide guidance and a safe environment for learning.

Reporting & transperency

(Quaterly + End of school year)

Sponsors receive regular updates, financial reports, and have the opportunity to correspond with the child they support. At the end of the school year, families and sponsors provide feedback to help assess the impact of the program.

👉

When Djeinabou’s family was no longer able to pay her school fees, she was at risk of dropping out. Thanks to a caring sponsor, she received the support she needed. Today, Djeinabou is thriving in class and dreams of becoming a nurse.

This is the impact of your support…

Testimonials

Sponsor (Belgium)
I had always wanted to help...

 

What I take away from this experience is love—the kind described in 1 Corinthians 13: a love that is shown through action, a love that does not seek its own interest, and a love that helps others grow. Many times, I wanted to take action on my own, but ultimately, being able to do it through you is even more beautiful. I give glory to God for the life of Garizim and for all the volunteers who dedicate their time and energy to our children. Thanks to you, they thrive, they dream, they learn… and an entire generation is lifted by this love in action.

A feeling like no other...

 

The experience of being a sponsor has given us a sense of purpose. It is truly rewarding to know that our presence in this world has contributed to the well-being of another person. Just for this feeling alone, the experience is worth living again and again. A heartfelt thank you to Garizim for giving us the privilege of experiencing something so meaningful.
