Sponsor a Child
NMG are now running a sponsorship programme for the children at our centre. We are finding that there is an increasing number of children who are unable to afford to attend secondary education once they leave Shree Nepal Matri Griha Primary School. NMG already provides educational scholarships to many children to ensure they can continue their schooling but unfortunately we are unable to meet the growing demand. We are now looking for generous donors to sponsor a child and thus enable them to complete their studies. This is hugely important in securing a more prosperous future, free from the trappings of poverty, for the children.
How does it work?
We have designed the sponsorship programme to be simple for sponsors and fair and effective for the children. The sponsorship programme is applicable to all children that graduate from Shree Nepal Matri Griha Primary School and are unable to pay for external, secondary education. This could be because their families are unable to financially support the child and the child will be required to go out to work to bring in further income for the family. We have a number of children that require further support to go on to secondary school; some recieve complete or partial educational scholarships from NMG but we are unable to provide scholarships for all the children. The sponsorship programme enables these children to recieve scholarships and thus continue their education.
How much will it cost and what will the child recieve?
If a child is sponsored they will recieve either a complete or partial educational scholarship. You can read more about the scholarship programme here. The costs associated with providing a scholarship are as follows:
Complete educational scholarship - 167,850.00 NPR per year (approx. 125 euros per month). This is a comprehensive package offered to those children in greatest need. Under this scholarship a student’s school fees, healthcare, accommodation fee, clothing, all meals and educational aids (such as uniform, books, stationary) is provided by Nepal Matri Griha.
Partial Educational Scholarship - 40.650.00 NPR per year (approx. 30 euros per month). This is a scholarship awarded to students whose parents cannot afford to pay for their secondary, educational needs. Nepal Matri Griha pays the school fees and provides healthcare, educational aids, a daily lunch and counselling support if required, to these children on a needs-based basis.
The sponsorship costs are the same costs that we incur in supporting a child at NMG. We can provide a detailed breakdown if requested.The sponsorship fee can be paid by bank transfer on a monthly or yearly basis. However, we must stress the importance of ensuring you can support a child's education for at least six months and preferably for a year.
How will I know the child is being sufficiently supported?
Once we have recieved payment for the sponsorship we will send an official letter of confirmation. This will include a picture and the name of the child you have sponsored and you will recieve an update of the child's progress every six months. We are also more than happy to provide updates via email or over the phone.
