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. Watch the video below to hear directly from some of our sponsored children and their parents! Adult literacy
The ability to read and write is essential to modern life 2019 brought a new initiative to giveDIGNITY: an adult literacy course. Through this 8-month course that meets twice a week, adults who were never given the chance to learn will go from darkness to light in terms of their access to information. They will 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 will be better work opportunities! |
