| 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.
If you wish to ask if the child you have chosen to sponsor is/ will be a day pupil or boarder, contact us.

| 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.
