Child sponsorships
Education improves quality of life Too many children in the community are denied an education because families can't afford a uniform or bus fare. For sponsored students, giveDIGNITY provides uniforms, shoes, school supplies, bus passes and tutoring. More than 88% of children in the scholarship program pass the school year and advance to the next grade level, an astounding success rate in the community. Our sponsored students are the community leaders and success stories of tomorrow. Adult literacy The ability to read and write is essential to modern life Through this 6-month course that meets twice a week, adults who were never given the chance to learn go "from darkness to light" in terms of their access to information. They finally have the opportunity to achieve their dreams of reading the Bible, accessing the Web, texting, reading to their children, and helping them with homework. The ability to understand contracts and financial information reduces their vulnerability to fraud and oppression. And of course, a key outcome is better work opportunities! |
