Please Consider Sponsoring a Child!

Education

While the Basic Needs sponsorship gives the child a solid foundation free from concern over the daily necessities, an Education Sponsorship gives a path to a brighter future by supporting kids through secondary school. Then, once they complete their secondary education, a Scholarship Sponsorship will give them the opportunity to achieve a career or a profession. Through education, we can break the circle of poverty and help transform the community.

SK Philosophy − Education Is Key

This video explains Songea's Kids educational philosophy and the successes that it has generated. Songea's Kids supports the education of every sponsored child to the level they are able to attain. Many children were supported through our program and now have a trade, a career, or a profession and can support a family and give back to their community. "Education is key for a bright, independent future."

Watch the video and learn how you can help us support our children's education.

Scholarship Sponsors

Higher education has the power to transform lives. Our students strive to reach their potential, and each year, we have students who have excelled in their academic studies and are admitted to college or university programs in Tanzania. To date, we have 7 graduates from university and teachers’ college who are now working professionals, securing a solid future for themselves and their families, and contributing to the development of their communities and their nation. This year, we have 6 students currently studying at university and college, and in Fall 2023, we have 3 additional students who may also qualify. Sponsors of higher education make it possible for these students to attend college and university and realize their potential in life.

Education − Path to Prosperity

All of the children sponsored through Songea's Kids get an education. Education is key to breaking the cycle of poverty and a path to self-sufficiency. Our children are supported to attend vocational school to learn a trade or to attend college or university for a professional career. Watch to learn more about our education program and the children who have risen from poverty to graduate to a career/profession. Learn how you can help by donating a Scholarship.

Special Needs

The sponsored children often need items or medical treatment that are not covered by the Basic Needs. The needed items can range from beds for children sleeping on the dirt floor, mosquito nets, all the way to the repair or replacement of their foster home. Medical treatment can be a prosthetic device, wheelchair, surgery, hearing aids, all the way to cancer treatment. This is all paid for through donations to the Greatest Needs.
