EDUCATION SPONSORSHIP |
Poverty is a vicious cycle and like a
congenital disease often it has no cure.
However we can help break the poverty
cycle. Through CCI’s Education Sponsorship
program, a child is helped from elementary
to high school, in
their school fees, books, transport and
in providing vitamins and annual dental
checks.

MaryAnn
[not her
real name]
shares her journey:
‘I am the fourth in a large family of
four brothers and three sisters. My father
is a roadside vendor of candy and cigarettes
and my mother is a housewife. When my father’s
income for the day is low, or when he is drunk,
we go to bed without dinner. To support my
studies, I started working at the age of 13
as a domestic helper. I was paid US$0.41 for three hours work. |
I came under Care Channels’ Education
Sponsorship in my second year of high school.
That was a big help for school supplies and
projects. My grade average for 4th year high
school was 86% and I wanted to enroll for
college but did not have the means. That was
when I was offered a part-time job at the Care
Channels’ office, where I was able to
work half the day and go to school the other
half. I am grateful for this open door, for
providing me with an opportunity to further
my studies and work towards a better future
for me and my family.’
