Why Sponsor a girl?
The only way to empower girls with a future full of choice and possibilities is through education, hence we are convinced that a better future for a girl is built and maintained through education. Girls in The Gambia are keen to learn, however, poverty remains the key barrier to going to school.
How much does sponsoring cost?
Sponsorship is from £10 a month depending on the school level of the girl. The full cost goes to the designated girl’s education, this allows for a more personal relationship and connection depending on the choice of the sponsor.
Where does my money go?
The entire sponsorship goes to the girl’s education, this pays for her school fees, uniforms and educational material such as school bags, shoes and books.
How do I know am making a difference?
