What does it mean to be a sponsor?
To sponsor a child means to donate the amount needed to feed and school a child for the month, which totals to $56 USD a month.
​
Fuel Their Future recognizes that there are 58 students in the feeding program at Yididiya. Because we don't have the intimate knowledge of every student needing a sponsor and because our program is still building. we are pooling all donations together in an effort to feed every child instead of singling out a couple children over the group in need.
​
Fuel Their Futures welcomes donors who want to learn more and interact with specific children they may feel drawn to from their photos and stories. We encourage personal connections with these bright kids!
how do I become a sponsor?
Simply put, you pay the $56/month for a student to attend school and eat for one year. You can do this as a lump sum or by monthly automatic donations.
​
$56/month gets a student a new uniform and school supplies/books and feeds them breakfast and lunch every school day.
