Appraisal of 17 years of sponsorships
Ly was sponsored from primary school until the end of secondary school. She is now 24, has a 4 year old son and is currently working in a hotel.
Academic level | Number of children sponsored | Number of children at the expense of our organization |
junior schoolchildren | 20 | 0 |
secondary schoolchildren (first 4 years) | 12 | 1 |
secondary schoolchildren (last 3 years) | 29 | 5 |
students | 10 | 3 |
TOTAL | 71 | 9 |
However, since 2002, our organization has schooled 35 other children who have finished their studies, 34 after secondary school and 1 after university. That means that a total of 115 children have been schooled over a 17 year period thanks to our organization.
We have some regrets that 34 children did not continue their studies after secondary school, but we can really be satisfied because their level of education is considerably higher than that of their parents. We trust that the next generation will go even further. These 34 children finished their studies mainly in order to find a job and help their parents financially. Traditionally the Bahnar people make their living from subsistence agriculture, but the younger generation are moving towards other professions – mechanics, building and the hotel industry for example.
We currently have 15 children awaiting sponsors. Their schooling under the best possible conditions depends upon your generosity.
If you are taxable in France, your sponsorship is tax deductible which means that the 25 € monthly sponsorship would effectively come down to 8,50 €. Don’t hesitate, follow this link to sponsor a child.
