Frequently Asked Questions
When you decide to sponsor a child, you're making a commitment to contribute a specific amount every month. To ensure the seamless covering of various expenses at the beginning of each term, we recommend opting for quarterly payments.
For children attending nursery school and primary school, a monthly fee of 32 Euros comprehensively covers day school expenses, essential school books, and meals. For many children who require residence at the school due to specific circumstances, a monthly cost of 64 Euros provides food, accommodation, and education.
Children enrolled in secondary school and vocational colleges have monthly fees of 64 Euros. If you're curious about whether the child you intend to sponsor will be a day pupil or boarder, please feel free to reach out to us for clarification.
When you choose to sponsor a child, your commitment is open-ended. We earnestly hope that you'll extend your support until your sponsored child completes their education, at the very least through primary school. Moreover, we encourage you to consider continuing your invaluable assistance as they progress through secondary school, high school, and even university. It's essential to note that your sponsorship is a voluntary commitment.
Should you ever wish to discontinue your support for any reason, you can easily manage your sponsorship by logging into our website as a sponsor. By navigating to "Account Management," you can stop the sponsorship with a simple click. We greatly value any feedback you'd like to share, either before or after making the decision to halt your sponsorship.
