EDUCATION


To a poor child, education is the doorway to a world teeming with possibility. This is why Children International supports the efforts of sponsored children around the world, giving them an opportunity to learn.and dream.

It's been estimated that for every year a child stays in school, their future earning potential will be increased by 10-20%*. Education plays a central role in breaking the cycle of poverty.

Your sponsorship keeps children in school by providing:

  • Clothing - shoes and school uniforms
  • Supplies - backpacks, calculators, notebooks, pencils and pens
  • Library - reference materials, textbooks, study areas and computers
  • Study Aids - tutoring, educational workshops and special youth programs
  • Infrastructure - school repairs and classroom improvements

When funding allows, Children International also strives to:

  • Renovate or expand schools
  • Provide teacher training and textbooks
  • Build new schools and libraries
Our HOPE Fund (Helping Overcome Poverty through Education) provides talented youth the resources to continue their education in either a college or trade school setting. Through the HOPE Fund, sponsored youth have access to career counselors and job fairs.
