The greatest part of sponsoring a student through Books of Hope is that it's not an all or nothing commitment. You don't need to fund an entire year's worth of expenses.
Even a $25 donation goes a long way, and absolutely 100% of your donation goes directly towards the expenses listed for each child, starting with their tuition and moving down the list.
All of the students on this page have faced immeasurable challenges because of the ravages of war and HIV.
Their greatest wish is to continue with their education so that they may become self-sufficient one day
You'll notice that the students on this page tend to be a bit older - usually over the age of 15. While we know that it's probably easier to find sponsors for younger children, we are focusing primarily on the students who have the hardest time finding other support, especially young women. Many of these students are very close to finishing high school and only need a little more support to graduate.
You will receive a letter and updates about your student's progress in school after the first term of your support.
Please note that tuition fees include room and board. Most Ugandan students need to attend boarding school because their homes are too far away to walk everyday. By helping pay their tuition we are also paying for their lodging and meals for each term.
Background: Sunday lives with his mother and three siblings. His father has another family and is no longer supporting them. They have been displaced from their family lands due to the war, and they are now living in a rented room in town.
