Hello Friends,
I have felt the same way sometimes when I met children who need to be in school. The first thing on my mind was, "they need sponsorship to be in school!" Sometimes this is not the case, in fact in many cases it is not. We may have money to pay for the child in school and still the child will fail to go to school, or to perform well in school or to benefit all together and the problem is that we may not know this until after a long time and lots of money spent. In the event that the sponsorship stops 6 years in primary or 3 years in secondary, the child will still be as good as not educated because they will not have any qualification documents! So what is the way forward? Think about a sustainable way, that will ensure that the child is totally covered both at home and school including but not limited to school fees, feeding at home, loving parental care, psycho-social support... Such environment may be attained in a restricted area or by enabling the whole community - so you do not limit yourself to an orphanage which has its own questions like: what happens when the boys turn 18? How do they acquire land if they have to marry before they get their own jobs... There are sustainable ways of ensuring that families can provide for themselves and keep their children in school. Those are the ways we need to think out....
