Student Sponsorships at City of Joy

Student Sponsorships

Education is the key to helping children and giving them a brighter future. For many kids education is difficult. Even though government (public) schools are free there are costs involved. Uniforms, sandals, haircuts, paper, pencils, pens, and other supplies are required. If a family is too poor to buy these things some children remain at home and don't go to school.

City of Joy is making a difference through Student Sponsorships! You can sponsor a student and help them go and stay in school. For a yearly gift of $25-primary school or $50-secondary school, you can help a child. You will receive a picture and short biography of the child you have helped. Your gift will provide everything needed for one year of education.

Women of Rwanda Sponsorships

You can change a life through a vocational training sponsorship program called "Women of Rwanda". For a one year commitment of $30/month you can help an at-risk young woman realize her potential in Christ.

The program gives these women the tools and support needed to succeed not only in business but also in life. Each sponsored woman will receive: a sewing machine, English classes, business classes, one-on-one mentoring to help design a life plan and other tools to help.

You as a sponsor will receive a picture and profile as well as updates through out the year. Go to www.cityofjoyfoundation.org to donate.
