WHY DOES UNIQUE FOUNDATION HAVE A CHILD SPONSORSHIP PROGRAM?

According to development economists, child sponsorship positively impacts the lives of children in several important ways.

Sponsorship results in better educational outcomes for children. Sponsored children are far more likely to complete secondary school and go on to post-secondary education. There is even a spillover effect on the unsponsored younger siblings of sponsored children. Sponsorship tells a child in poverty “Your life matters and that there is a wonderful plan for your life.”

In sub-Saharan Africa, youth literacy rates (ages 15-24) have increased over the past 20 years, which suggests that adult literacy rates will increase as they grow up. However, youth literacy rates in Sub-Saharan Africa (70% in 2011) are the lowest of any region

CAN I CHOOSE THE CHILD I WANT TO SPONSOR?

You may be able to choose a child that you would like to sponsor, by letting us know the age and gender you would like to sponsor and we will choose a deserving child for you.

WHAT IF I AM UNABLE TO CONTINUE SPONSORING?

We understand that sometimes circumstances arise that make it impossible to continue sponsorship. If you find that you are unable to continue your sponsorship commitment, please let us know so that we can find another sponsor for your child. Because we will never want to drop students from the program when they lose their sponsor, but we want to make sure every child has a sponsor.
