About this image: Jimmy, a student in our sponsorship program is ready for class to begin. Only 7.69 % of students who enter primary school go on to complete secondary school. Only 2.2% of the entire adult population in Uganda finish all six years of secondary school--P7 through S6--and graduate with a full diploma.

Our Student Sponsorship program provides the opportunity for secondary students to attend school. The students eligible for our sponsorship program attend our current educational partner, Awegys Secondary School in Kigo, Uganda. The students we support must demonstrate a strong commitment to their education and be willing to give back to their communities.
How do I become a sponsor?
For a sponsorship, the sponsor contributes $54/£36 per month or $650/£432 per year. A sponsor's donation helps all of our students, and every additional sponsorship allows us to benefit one more needy student. The funds provide tuition fees, accommodation and meals while supporting the development of our educational partner, Awegys Secondary School. Sponsors receive at least 3 letters per year from our students.
If you would like to become a sponsor, Contact Us and we will send you the necessary information. Learn more about the lives of students you will be helping here.
To support additional needs of our students, consider contributing to our general student fund. Contributions can be made by visiting our Donate Page.
How does my sponsorship help the students?
Most students cannot afford their school fees so few students attend secondary school. Those who do often take breaks from their education to find jobs and earn money for their tuition or to help their families. After leaving, a number of students never return to school.
A sponsorship covers the cost of students' school fees, allowing them to continue their education uninterrupted and without the same financial burden. Additionally, tuition fees support the school by assisting with teachers’ salaries, school materials, food costs for students, and so on. By becoming a sponsor, you aren’t just allowing needy students to attend school--you are also creating a stronger academic environment for the entire school.

How can I make a personal connection with the students?
After we receive and process your sponsorship request, you will receive a personal letter from us along with a photo and biography of one of the many students your sponsorship funds support.
All sponsors receive at least three letters per year. We encourage our sponsors to reply as they wish--our students love hearing from their sponsors!
Some of our sponsors also like to send appropriate care packages to our students. All mail is directed through the Mtaala Foundation. The personal connection that comes from cross-cultural exchange is an asset to our program.
