Become a Sponsor and change a life

 

 

Sponsor a Child

The bedrock of our funding is our dedicated child sponsorship programme. By securing regular donations for each child we can promise them the opportunity to complete the education they have begun.

149 CHILDREN STILL NEED SPONSORS

                                 Receiving pictures from the child you sponsor is just one of the highlights

We look for 'padrinos' (godparents) for each of our children.

As a 'padrino' (godfather) or 'madrina' (godmother), you will receive regular letters and information from your child with photos and progress reports.

We encourage you to write to your child and we hope you form a bond that will last for life.

You will change the life of a child forever, develop a friendship with a particular child and provide much needed support for that child.

You will receive photographs, a personal history and letters from your sponsor child updating you on their progress.

There are two different levels of child sponsorship.

Primary School- £300 per annum (£25 per month)

Secondary School or College- £375 per annum (£31.25 per month)

Some quotes from sponsors                              

" It gives us such pride to know that we are helping children get an education that will have a life time impact on their abilities and life chances, something they would otherwise not have got.  Knowing that by helping these children today will not only change the here and now but shape their future and their childrens future is a really good feeling"   

Alison Durie, who sponsors Joselin and Jackeline

"I have sponsored Telma for over 3 years and during that time I have watched her grow and listened to the stories of a happy, loving little girl who is really clever and doing very well at school. She told me in one of her letters that Maths is her favourite subject, she's really competitive and likes to get the highest marks in her exams. I have her picture, with a big cheeky grin, on my computer at work."

Claire Lingley, who sponsors Telma. 

 

Teacher Sponsorship

 

Our teachers are well paid by Guatemala standards and we feel this is important to retain the best quality teachers and to set a responsible example in paying a decent wage.

As with child sponsorship you receive regular correspondence from the teacher with their progress and the progress of their class. The cost of sponsoring a teacher is currently £2,400 per annum or £200.00 per month.
