Student sponsorship
A Mtaala student sits an exam.
Mtaala provides the opportunity for vulnerable and at-risk youth to attend Awegys by finding sponsors in the US and UK to support their education. The students eligible for sponsorship include orphans and those affected by conflict, extreme poverty and HIV. To be considered for our sponsorship program potential students must demonstrate a strong commitment to their education and be willing to give back to their communities.
Become a sponsor
The sponsor contributes $54/£36 per month or $650/£432 per year. A sponsorship helps all of our students. The donated funds provide tuition fees, accommodation and meals, whilst also supporting the development of Awegys. Sponsors receive at least 3 letters per year from our students.

How does my sponsorship help the students?
Most students cannot afford their school fees so few students attend secondary school. Those who do often take breaks from their education to find jobs and earn money for their tuition or to help their families. After leaving, a number of students never return to school.
A sponsorship covers the cost of school fees, allowing students to continue their education uninterrupted. Additionally, tuition fees support the school by assisting with teachers’ salaries, school materials, food costs for students, and so on. By becoming a sponsor, you aren’t just allowing vulnerable students to attend school - you are also creating a stronger academic environment for the whole school.

How can I make a personal connection with the students?

After we receive and process your sponsorship request, you will receive a personal letter from us along with a photo and biography of one of the many students your sponsorship supports.
All sponsors receive at least three letters per year. We encourage our sponsors to reply as they wish - our students love hearing from their sponsors! Some of our sponsors also like to send appropriate care packages to our students. All mail is directed through the Mtaala Foundation. The personal connection that comes from cross-cultural exchange is an asset to our work. |
