SponsorshipsIn 2008, support from
LfL sponsors allowed 16 children to
attend secondary school. This may seem a small number but it is an
amazing
life changing opportunity. Each year sees them progress from vulnerable
teenagers towards becoming mature, confident, independent adults. The
pictures

school in
uniforms! Please read more about the school they attend and one of the students Most of the sponsored
children came from For 2009 we are hoping to find sponsors for another 20+ children (at least 12 from Banunule): Profiles for the children looking for sponsors in 2009 We select children for sponsorship based on motivation. We think it important that each individual should make the most of the opportunity and we’re pleased to report that this has worked well this year. The average cost per
child for full sponsorship in 2008 was
£450 (or £290 for fees-only students). For 2009 the
cost will be around 20% higher
due to increases in school fees (related to the cost of food) and the
fall in
the sterling exchange rate. |
