My Shule Sponsor

Program overview

The Child Sponsorship Program pairs caring individuals and corporate partners with vulnerable children (ages, criteria) to provide predictable, long-term support covering education, health, nutrition and psychosocial development. Sponsors fund a monthly or annual contribution that is pooled and targeted to address the child’s holistic needs while strengthening family resilience and community services.


Objectives

  • Ensure sponsored children access continuous education and school supplies.

  • Improve child health and nutrition outcomes.

  • Provide holistic development services (mentoring, psychosocial support, life skills).

  • Strengthen caregiver capacity and household stability.

  • Build long-term, measurable improvements in child wellbeing.


Who we sponsor (eligibility)

Children from families registered with Shule Child Aid Africa who meet vulnerability criteria (extreme poverty, orphaned/separated, at risk of school dropout, food insecurity). Each child undergoes a needs assessment and care plan is developed.


How it works — program model

  1. Identification & assessment. Field teams assess needs and prepare a child profile and care plan.

  2. Sponsor match. Child profiles (age, interests, goals — anonymized) are shared with prospective sponsors for matching.

  3. Funding & pooling. Sponsors commit to monthly or annual contributions. Funds are pooled into a child support account managed by Shule Child Aid Africa.

  4. Service delivery. Funds cover school fees, supplies, health checks, nutrition packages, mentoring and caregiver support.

  5. Monitoring & reporting. Sponsors receive regular updates (quarterly reports, photos, progress notes). Program staff monitor child wellbeing and household outcomes.

  6. Graduation & transition. As children achieve stability, we plan transition pathways (vocational pathways, savings, alternative community support) to open spots for new children.
