Your loving support gives a child a chance to start school, stay in school, and succeed in school. School Sponsorships provide the resources a student needs to pursue their best futures through education.
What are School Sponsorships?
When you donate to a School Sponsorship, you provide a backpack filled with supplies, a pair of shoes and a set of school clothes, a uniform, and food for the whole family 3x a year! You make a big difference.
Why are School Sponsorships important?
Ethiopians strive to send their children to school, even under very difficult conditions. However, there are significant barriers that make receiving an education difficult for children living in rural communities.
Families living in poverty struggle to feed their families. No mother should ever have to decide her child needs to leave school and go to work. And yet, the cost of school supplies is more than many families can afford.
You are a change-maker, because your support means a child can go to school instead of going to work.
Meet Birtukan, a 6th grader who has a school sponsorship and who attends a school that is part of the Roots Ethiopia School Improvement Program!
“Before, I was working for my neighbor. I was selling charcoal so my family could have food to eat. I worked so much but it was never enough for me to go to school. And then my life changed! Now, I feel like school is the best job ever, and it is a job I love with a school sponsorship.”
