What is the Sponsorship project?
The sponsorship project allows our children to come into contact with other people, with other stories and life experiences. The relationship they establish with their sponsors makes them dream and get to know realities that would otherwise be inaccessible. They talk about school, their daily life, their challenges and are stimulated by their sponsors to always do more and better.
Sponsors pay a monthly contribution of between 20 euros and 60 euros per child. This contribution ensures the children’s food, clothing, school materials and health care. In addition, sponsors can make larger donations.
This is the foundation’s main source of funds. Your help is extremely important to contribute to the bright future of hundreds of children!
