The Programme - Congo Action

CHILD SPONSORSHIP PROGRAMME
            

CongoAction has run a child sponsorship programme for the past 10 years and from the success stories we have had, we believe we need to continue running and expanding our programme.

The charity is putting more and more time, effort and money into education and schooling.  We, at CongoAction, believe in securing the child’s long-term future, giving them a legacy for life. Education is still the best way of helping deprived children. The children sponsored by the charity are selected according to their needs. The majority of them are orphans or have lost at least one parent, and without sponsorship would be unable to access education.


The majority of the money raised is used to pay each child’s school fees.  The remainder is allocated to support the teachers (who do not receive any salary from the Government) and for buying educational materials.

CongoAction sponsorship does not stop at the end of the secondary education. With your help, we ensure that we continue to support the child by moving them forward into:

• Higher education
  

• apprenticeship
  

• into a small trade of their own
  

We believe that in a country deprived of economic opportunities for young people, it is essential to help them make the transition into some sort of secure employment, therefore ensuring that that the education provided and further financial assistance will equip these young people for life.
