SPONSOR A CHILD SAVE A LIFE
Sponsor a Child Today
Right now, hundreds of children in the slum camps of north India are growing up surrounded by hunger, illness and hardship. Through Tong-Len’s Child Sponsorship Programme you can help to transform a child’s life.
When you sponsor a child you can provide:
A safe and loving home
- A safe and loving home in the Tong-Len hostel
- A full-time education in the Tong-Len school
- Nutritious meals and healthcare
- The joy of simply being a child
For many children this is their very first experience of safety, stability and hope for the future.
Become a sponsor today and give a child a chance to dream, learn and thrive. Contact anna@tong-Len.org to get started
….,The principles…
- All sponsorship money goes directly towards the support of the children. There are no significant overhead or administrative costs.
- Individual children may have more than one sponsor. The cost for one child to attend school and live in the hostel is 80,000 INR (approximately £800/$1000 per annum. As this is a considerable sum to seek from any one sponsor, children may have up to 5 sponsors at c £160/$200 per annum.
- The day pupils also receive nourishing food, showers, healthcare and are provided with the same uniforms and books as the hostel children. Annual sponsorship for a day child is £200/$250 which can be shared between up to four sponsors.
- All sponsors are provided with details and photographs of their sponsored child (and can request to support a boy or a girl if they have a preference).
- Sponsors will receive updates on their sponsored child at least twice a year including updated photos if available and details of their progress in school. Sponsors will also receive regular updates on the hostel and slum camp projects through the Tong-Len website and our regular newsletters.
- Sponsors of the hostel children will be provided with postal and email addresses to enable them to communicate with their children if they wish.
- It is not possible for the day children to communicate with their sponsors regularly as there are insufficient hours in the school day to allow for this.
