Support education of a child – change a life.
This allows children to have the opportunity for formal education. Your support unlocks the door to life beyond extreme poverty.
In Uganda, education is not free. School fees are far beyond the means of some underprivileged families, who live on an average of less than $1 a day.
Supporting a child costs $900 annually. This tax-deductible donation covers all of a student’s basic needs: tuition, fees, food, clothing, supplies, and transportation.
Fees are pooled to provide assistance for all the underprivileged children. Your support auto-renews annually so the children have the stability of remaining in school without interruption. Your support may be canceled at any time by contacting us in writing.
We have a team of social workers who are in the community who pick students who are most likely to succeed. SSHM society is very family- and community-oriented, and students are expected to give back to their families and community once they have completed their studies.
Your donation goes directly to the students’ educational costs (such as room, board, transportation, exam fees, meals, uniforms, pencils, paper, shoes, and supplies) .
