Child sponsorships
Children into school
Challenge
In developing countries, millions of children are unable to go to school because they are too poor. Yet education is the best way for young people to lift themselves out of poverty. A solid education is not only the basis for building a secure livelihood as an adult, it also strengthens children’s self-confidence. They learn to believe in themselves and in their abilities. This will enable the children in Africa, Asia and Latin America to stand on their own two feet one day.

With the child sponsorship ‘Children into school’, you support a variety of projects:

Support in Bangladesh: More than just school
«Thanks to the day-care centre of the Caritas partner MATI, my children Shifa and Shetu are looked after during the day and I can go to work. I know my children are lovingly cared for and nurtured. We urgently need the additional income so that our children have enough to eat.»
