Sponsorship of Elementary Students $200/year
This includes: tuition, books, stationery, school uniform (as needed,) and contribution to the school’s building fund. For education sponsors, there is a “soft” expectation that the sponsor will follow along in an ongoing manner, year to year with their assigned student(s).
What you can expect when you donate to Swazi Kids:
For new education sponsors, we make every effort for you to receive a letter from and recent photo of your sponsored child/children at some point within that year. In subsequent years, we find we are usually able to get letters from the elementary students, but as the older students spread out to different high schools, this follow up is harder to achieve and thus is not promised.
You will also receive a tax receipt for any donation of $25 or more. Three quarterly email newsletters and one annual newsletter sent in the mail
Sponsorship of Secondary Students $500/year
Most students are $500 per year. Includes everything listed for elementary school.
School Uniforms $80
School Uniforms are critical to a student’s attendance. Often they are handed down so many times they are in tatters. This is a source of real embarrassment to the students, as it is such an obvious mark of poverty upon them. If your budget does not permit any of the above options, we are happy to accept $80 for each uniform purchased.
Building, Water Wells and Water Projects
We have a list of water projects waiting for funding. An entire well costs $5,000 Cdn, a reservoir costs approximately $10,000. If these are way beyond your means, but water still interests you, we accept any amount $100 and over that will go into a pooled “water fund.” Once the $5,000 mark has been reached the well will go in. Another building was completed in 2009, similar in concept to 2006’s. Details available upon request.
