Why education?
All children listed here live in poverty. Many in the community cannot read or write, and parents struggle to afford the school fees for their children. The school fees often cost more than a month's salary, and many months' wages for families living in poverty. Education gives the children hope for a bright future, and educating children helps the whole family rise out of poverty.
How much is a scholarship?
Each child's school fees are listed individually. Unlike with many organizations, we know where each child goes to school, and exactly how much their school fees are. Not all schools cost the same amount, and therefore the requested scholarship amounts differ. You also have the option of donating a partial scholarship to a child. In general, scholarships range from $30-70 for a school term. There are three terms per school year in Uganda.
