Helping Hands is seeking donors to sponsor children for school. Many children do not attend school beyond primary as they cannot afford the tuition and other costs. Providing an education to these students is a valuable contribution to their future. Sponsors can be families, organizations, individuals, etc. There is a tremendous need to assist children and youth to receive the appropriate education. Amounts required to support their education are often minimal when compared to the USA.

Primary School (Tuition, books and uniform for one year) - $180.00
High School  - $400.00
College - $1,000.00+
