School Sponsorships

As of 2005, most children can attend a government school at no tuition charge; however, they are responsible for purchasing many supplies and there are additional administrative costs involved.

The cost to sponsor one child attending a government school for one year is: $150 What is needed:   School uniform:                        $12   School shoes:                            $6   Books and stationaries:             $30 Feeding fee:                               $64   Exam costs & copying fees:       $8     Miscellaneous:                           $8      Administrative costs:                 $20 • Every child is required to wear a school uniform each day. • Books are not provided by the schools. Children are responsible for purchasing their own textbooks, notebooks, papers, pencils, etc. This is a one time expense purchased at the beginning of each school year. • Children are required to wear closed toed shoes as part of their uniform. • Children sponsored through this program are provided with a nutritious meal each school day. SGM has discovered that supplying a feeding program increases school attendance and may be the sole dependable meal for many children. Good nutrition is vital to a child’s learning ability. • Students are expected to pay for the copying costs of exams. They literally have to pay fees to take any test in school. • Miscellaneous costs cover any basic medical needs of the child and any additional expenses the child may incur over the school year. • Administrative costs include monitoring, reporting, and follow up of the child to be conducted by Sovereign Global Mission’s Field Director each school term.
