Do something amazing today.

Sponsor a School

Sponsoring a school is an amazing gift. By pledging to raise funds to provide meals for an entire school, you are giving every child enrolled there hope for a brighter future. 

While schools are closed globally because of Covid-19, the communities we serve are suffering increased levels of hunger and hardship, so it’s more important than ever that we are able to support hungry children with much-needed daily nutrition. We’re working with communities to find ways to get food to the children while schools are closed.

By sponsoring a school, you will still be providing meals for every child enrolled – it’s just that those meals will currently be prepared and eaten at home, in their temporary place of education.

How it works

School sponsorship is a vital part of our fundraising as it allows us to be more ambitious in our plans. We aim to keep expanding our programmes across the world and your sponsorship makes growth possible.

  • Schools available for sponsorship are in Malawi and Zambia.
  • The cost of sponsorship varies from $6,000 to $277,000, depending on the number of pupils in the school you choose.  
  • Schools can be sponsored by individuals or organisations and in the name of a loved one or shared cause. We can even put up a sign in the kitchen of your school to celebrate this! 
  • Sponsorship lasts for one academic year. We encourage supporters to renew sponsorships for additional years but this not compulsory.
