Sponsorship is the best way to create a lasting positive impact on the life of a vulnerable child in Kawangware and will allow you to create a very special bond with him or her.  Your sponsorship will bring a child the opportunity to have a healthy, happy childhood by providing education, healthcare and nutrition.  If you may be interested in sponsoring a child, please contact sponsorship@rayofhopeinternational.org.  Remember, you don’t have to do it alone!

We ask that each sponsor commits to sending their child to school through grade 8.  This may mean a four year commitment for some students, and an eight year commitment for others.  We can tailor your needs and the child’s needs to fit together.  Once the child reaches grade 8 we can then discuss whether you would like to continue sponsoring the child through high school.

Sponsorship, like all Ray of Hope initiatives, is community driven.  We are therefore determined to have the community invest in the community. 

We believe that the sponsorship program is the best opportunity for our students to advance academically and escape the poverty they were born into. Together we can help raise a new generation of leaders in Kenya.  Leaders who are sharp-minded and filled with the empathy required to make a positive difference in the country and the world. If you may be interested in sponsoring a child, please contact sponsorship@rayofhopeinternational.org. 

Remember, you don’t have to do it alone!  You can sponsor a child through your work, church, community organization, or together with your neighbors!
