Children who enter our sponsorship program leave it with education, a way to provide income, and the confidence needed for adult life. We have a partnership with a Spanish organization, Fundacion Cienvidas, that connects sponsors with girls.
To assess the eligibility of children who need sponsorship we have a set of criteria. They must attend ImpAct center classes. We assess their families financial state. And we talk to the children about their future goals and their desire to study to ensure. Once the child and sponsor is identified an application is made to the school, and an interview takes place to see what grade the child should go into.
To cover the cost of uniforms, school supplies, application fees, examination costs and education fees we require 45 Euro per month for the ongoing 12 months. The academic year in India is April to April. The 45 euro is for an “average level” schooling.
Every month ImpAct assists the child to communicate with their sponsor by sharing with them a record of the child's grades. The sponsor also receives monthly letters and photos from the child (this letter is translated from Hindi to English).
