Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to sponsor a child?

You commit yourself to pay a certain amount each month. Many bills have to be covered at the beginning of each term so we recommend quarterly payments. For children in nursery school and primary school, a monthly fee of 32 Euros will cover day school fees, school books, food. Many children have to live at school for a variety of reasons. It costs Child Africa 64 Euros per  month to give a child food,accomodation and an education.

For children in secondary school and vocational colleges; the monthly fees are 64 Euros.

For how long do I commit myself to be a sponsor?

You commit yourself for an indefinite period of time, and we hope that you will help your sponsored child until he or she has finished their education, at least primary school. Also, we would like to encourage you to continue supporting "your" child through secondary school, high school and possibly university.

Your sponsorship is of course voluntary. So if you for any reason want to stop your support, you can login as a sponsor to our web-site and stop the sponsorship by clicking the link "Account Management". We ask that you kindly to pay 3 months in advance before you quit your sponsorship so that we can be able to find another sponsor in order to keep the child in school.
How do I follow up on my child's progress?

As a sponsor, you will get your own sponsor page. Here you can see pictures of the child, you can send messages to each other and you will get details of how your sponsored child is doing at school.
Can I sponsor more than one child?

Yes. You can sponsor as many as you wish.
What happens if my sponsor child gets sick?

A doctor will be contacted in the local area and your child will get treatment and medicine.
What is the minimum amount I can give as a donation or to a school project?

We are happy for any contribution you would like to make. You can give a general charity donation of any amount of 10 Euros or more. You can also support our school project by donating needed inventories for the classrooms or by donating rooms in the school. The prices of the inventories start from 20 Euros.

Thank you very much for helping children in Africa to get a good education and a better life!
