Our Work / Sponsor a Kid
Sending Kids to School
Would you please sponsor me?
The importance of sending children to school cannot be overstated. Unfortunately, many poor African parents do not have the financial means to enroll their children in school, perpetuating the poverty cycle. A vital fact to also be aware of is that many children not attending school in Africa are orphans. This fact validates KT's strong commitment to this mission. Thus, let's join forces to help many kids receive an education and break the cycle of poverty in their families. In addition to sending them to school, we aim to follow their academic progress and meet their needs.
As a sponsor of a child, you will receive regular updates regarding the child's progress and well-being. Additionally, you will be able to exchange letters and pictures with the sponsored child. Let's get started!
