Sponsorship Models
A sponsorship starts at €35 per month. However, it’s also possible to contribute a higher amount, enabling the child to attend a boarding school, for example. Here you can find an overview of the different options.


Regular Sponsorship - from €35/month
This sponsorship covers school attendance, including school supplies (notebooks, pens, math sets…), hygiene products (soap, toothpaste, sanitary pads for girls…), and medical care. The child attends a day school and continues to live at home. They receive new school and sports uniforms regularly and can take part in various holiday programs.
This type of sponsorship is especially suitable for primary school children up to 5th grade and for those who don’t have a long journey to school.
Primary Boarding - from €60/month
This sponsorship also covers school fees, school supplies, and medical care. The child lives in a boarding school and only returns home during school holidays. Living in a boarding school is a great privilege for these children. They receive three meals a day, a small allowance, and additional support.
This type of sponsorship is especially meaningful for children from 5th grade onwards: it allows them to fully focus on their education while being cared for in every aspect. For some children living in extremely difficult conditions or those who are orphaned, boarding school is often the only way to provide them with a safe and stable environment.


Secondary Boarding - from €75/month
This sponsorship includes everything covered in the primary school boarding sponsorship. However, the school fees for secondary school are higher than those for primary school. In many villages, there are only a few secondary schools, and the journey to school is often very long. For many children, attending secondary school is only possible if they can live in a boarding school.




Special Sponsorship - from €100/month
This sponsorship is not part of our standard models and is only recommended for children who are full orphans, living in particularly difficult circumstances, or in need of special support due to physical and/or mental disabilities.
Currently, we have five children receiving support through this type of sponsorship. They benefit from tailored care and assistance that is individually adapted to their needs and also involves their families — if present.
Scholarship – University / Vocational Training
The costs for university or vocational training vary greatly depending on the field of study or training program. In most cases, they range between €100 and €200 per month but can also be lower or higher. This type of sponsorship can be shared between multiple sponsors and usually lasts between 3 to 5 years.
Everything the young person needs is covered: tuition or training fees, living expenses (hostel, food), and a small allowance. After completing their education, they also receive support in finding a job.
