The youth is the hope of the future but what if the youth of the future is deprived of education.
Is there any hope for a better tomorrow for our young people now and for the generations to come? The answer is "YES", through you. Stepping up as a sponsor could be your chance to make a heartfelt and genuine difference in the lives of children..
Many children are forced to drop out of school early, as their parents are unable to afford ongoing school fees, or they are required to work to supplement the family’s income. Sponsored students are given the opportunity to complete their schooling. Education is crucial to combating poverty, and ensuring that these children receive a good education is a sustainable and long term approach to building a better future. Better education means more opportunities, and the chance to break free from the cycle of poverty. And this is the reason why our church continues this program from then until now to bring change in every child's life.
Even though there are not many Elementary Students here, we can easily find more students if some one wants younger students (we say this, because Elementary are the cheapest students for some one to support and some people actually don’t have a lot of extra money, so if there is a cheaper option, some people will always take that option).
Why is student sponsorship important?
When you sponsor student in need, you encourage them with hope for the future. You help them to dream big. You give them chance to reach their goal. You empower them in their community to overcome poverty for good and help children build better lives and futures.
How do you choose students to be sponsored?
Our team works with the poorest slum areas in Manila. We are going around, conducting door to door interviews so that we can identify students with needs. We then ask the children’s families if they want to be part of the sponsorship program and explain how sponsorship works..
What are the benefits received by sponsored students?
Before the start of the school year, each student (elementary, high school and college) will receive the amount you sponsor for their uniforms, books, bags, shoes and anything else they need.
For high school students they will receive a weekly allowances while the elementary students will recieve allowances at the end of each grading and there are four (4) gradings within one school year.
For college students they will receive an additional amount per semester (2 semesters per school year) and a weekly allowances.
Aside of financial assistance, we make sure that they join church activities and even to be part of our ministry. They have a once a week church service so that they are not only helped in their studies but also in their faith and relationship with the Lord..
How do I know that the student I’m helping is real and my contribution gets to him/her?
Every time each grading is finished, the students get a report card where it is passed to us as proof that they are studying. We can also provide their facebook account or email so you can say hello and ask questions regarding their studies..
