The children who attend the Roof of Africa school live in extreme poverty. Without our school they wouldn't receive an education and the opportunity to break the cycle of poverty for themselves and their community. As a grassroots charity, we raise every penny to run the school and one of the ways supporters can help is to sponsor one of the pupils.
For £25.00 a month, all the school related costs for a child are covered.
This includes:
A full time place at The pre and primary Roof of Africa school, our English speaking school.
2 hot meals a day, for breakfast and lunch
A school uniform and shoes
A school bag
A starter pack of school supplies including jotters and stationary
There are many children who still need a sponsor, will you be one of them?
Sponsors receive updates twice a year with details of how their child is getting on, and there is also the option to write letters, or send video messages, to your sponsored child/children.
The Roof of Africa understands that the children's physical and mental wellbeing isn't just confined to school and we do everything in our power to support the families and community as a whole. Some children are living in very challenging situations and for those in particular, we provide additional help for the household.
Each Family Sponsorship is tailored to the needs of the individual family. Examples of costs that may be covered by Family Sponsorship include:
Health Costs
Food Parcels
Costs for furniture, including beds, mattresses and mosquito nets
Housing Costs
Professional Support Costs (e.g social worker)
