 Sponsor a Child Whether you are an individual or a group, such as a church or school, you can join the many others already helping by sponsoring a child. You can give any amount, over £5 a month, which will enable us to provide full care and education for the children and babies in our two homes in Uganda. This includes: Medical attention Housing Feeding Good sanitation and clean water Clothing Education Parenting Counselling As you can imagine, covering every aspect of a child’s welfare doesn’t come cheap and we usually bear this complete cost. So it’s all about teamwork. Several sponsors, giving what they can, can share the cost of looking after a child. That way, we ensure we receive the funds we need to provide the care they deserve. It also means that if £5 is all you can afford, you will still be making a vital difference. Child sponsorship is usually donated by standing order. If you are a taxpayer, you can sign the tax declaration which will allow us to claim the tax back at 28% on the gift from the Inland Revenue at no cost to you. That means that for every £100 that is given for our work, £28 comes back from tax already paid, so increases the gift to £128! When you sponsor a child, you will receive a sponsorship pack and an annual update on how the child is doing. This will include a new photograph and either a letter written by the child or, if they are too young to write, a drawing with a letter from one of their carers. Count me in!
