Sponsor a child

Zena, who comes from a background of extreme poverty, has been attending our school for a year now. Can you imagine that without support, this little girl would never have been able to go to school? Thanks to her school attendance, made possible by a sponsorship, her future looks very different. And she is enjoying school to the full – learning, playing with friends, and enjoying good school meals. Unfortunately, she has lost her sponsorship and we’d be delighted if she could find sponsors again soon, so that she can continue attending school in the long term.

There are six children in the family in total – the two eldest have started school but are mostly at home because there isn’t enough money for the school fees. For this reason, the two middle children have never attended school, and now Zena is old enough to start school. You can imagine that this will never be possible without help. The father is a day labourer; the mother grows mchicha, the Kenyan spinach, and sells it to the neighbours. The parents are doing their best, but they have no chance on their own.

Zena needs a sponsorship of 20 Euro a month so that she can go to school. A reliable sponsorship is particularly important for her, as she is starting primary school next year and we can only continue to support her with a sponsorship.

Sadly, five-year-old Rayan no longer has any sponsors either. The family’s situation is difficult – there are only three children, but the family lives in a tiny rented room. The father works nights at the abattoir; it’s hard, unpleasant work that doesn’t pay particularly well – but at least it’s a job. Most of the money goes on rent, and the family has to struggle hard to make ends meet. Rayan attends PP 1 at our school and loves skipping with her friends.

With 20 Euro a month, you can help Rayan attend school; she’ll receive good school meals and the necessary school supplies.

Little Abubakar has sadly lost his sponsors. Abubakar is four years old and attends PP 1 at our nursery school; he loves playing football. Abubakar’s father works as a day labourer to support the family. He finds it very difficult to earn enough to provide for them. Often, they only have maize porridge in the morning and evening – and if they’re lucky, a little cabbage or spinach in the evening. The family owns no land, so they cannot grow their own food. They fetch water from a nearby pond. The family lives in a small mud hut with no windows; until recently, Abubakar and his eight-year-old sister slept on an old mattress on the floor. We were able to buy a bed for the children from the proceeds of our fundraising campaign.

You can sponsor Abubakar for 20 Euro a month. This will enable Abubakar to attend school, where he will receive healthy school meals and the necessary school supplies.

Franklin is five years old and in PP 1 at our school. Sadly, he has lost his sponsors. His mother is a single parent, having been left by his father for another woman. As the family lost their home as a result, they have moved in with his grandmother, where an uncle also lives with his children. Franklin shares a bed with his uncle’s children. Franklin himself has no siblings. His mother works as a day labourer; she goes round looking for jobs doing washing and cleaning, but the income from this is minimal and barely enough to survive on, let alone cover school fees. At our school, Franklin particularly likes the eggs, which are served twice a week.

As a sponsor, you can enable Franklin to attend school with a monthly contribution of 20 Euro.

EMERGENCY. We urgently need sponsors for Baraka, aged 9. Baraka is the older brother of Nasri, whom we have been supporting through our project for several years. It had become apparent at school that the children were not always attending regularly, that Baraka’s school uniform was in poor condition, and that the children often came to school without having had breakfast. So our Mr Fadhili paid a visit to the family. And that is when the full extent of their difficult situation became clear.

The father lost his job some time ago and can now only earn money as a day labourer. The mother has left the family with the youngest daughter; the father looks after the two boys, Nasri and Baraka, together with the grandmother. The grandmother is already elderly and does not always manage to look after the boys properly. The father barely manages to bring home enough money to buy maize flour. The father has always tried to send Baraka to school too, but the costs meant there was nothing left to feed the family.

Sponsoring Baraka would take some of the pressure off the situation and make it easier for the father to provide for his boys. In addition, our team will advise the father on how best to deal with the situation.

Baraka means ‘blessing’. Sponsoring little Baraka would be a real blessing for the family. Baraka attends a state school. With a monthly sponsorship of 20 Euro, we can cover his school fees and provide him with all the school supplies he needs.

Who is able and willing to support Baraka and thus bring some relief to the whole family?

Lunch sponsorship. If we manage to offer a healthy lunch in addition to breakfast, we know that our children are full and well supplied with nutrients and vitamins.

For 12 euros, we can provide a child with a varied and healthy lunch for a month. This includes healthy ingredients such as rice, beans and vegetables. We also use this money to pay for our cooks and the necessary kitchen utensils.

You are free to choose how much you would like to donate each month as a lunch sponsor.

You will receive a donation certificate from us in recognition. And you know that thanks to your help, a child gets a healthy meal every day.

School sponsorship. Would you like to support Rabai Hope Nursery School on a regular basis without sponsoring a specific child? That is of course also possible – with a school sponsorship.

With a school sponsorship, your donation is treated like a sponsorship and enables the school to run and maintain. Your donation benefits all the children at the school.

With a personal sponsorship, your child will eventually leave Rabai Hope Nursery School and transfer to a primary school. With a school sponsorship, you can support the small preschool in Rabai on a permanent basis.

You are welcome to sponsor a school with an amount of your choice. You will receive a donation certificate from us in recognition.
