Mark is a cheerful boy who loves playing instruments and listening to gospel music. Sadly he has sickle cell anaemia which can lead to painful episodes and leaves him vulnerable to infections.
He lives with his mother, Lynnet, who is a street vendor and is simply not earning enough to pay for rent, medicines and put food on the table.
Mark loves to go to school and dreams of becoming a civil engineer but without sponsorship he will continue to be sent home for fees and miss out on schooling.
Transaction Fees
Because the child benefits from the full £20 per month sponsorship, we have included the transaction fees we incur through our website payment processor. You can sponsor directly through the office and pay via standing order to avoid this fee.
Your Welcome Pack
Once you have signed up to sponsor a child, we will send you more information about the child, the area they live and go to school in and how to correspond with them. Many of our supporters want to know how they can give more support and we will outline this as well, although there is absolutely no obligation to do so and we won't keep asking you.
