Become a Child Sponsor
From Streets to Scholars Program

Investing in Education

Promoting children's education is one of Become's main goals. Providing children with the opportunity to learn not only increases their happiness and self-fulfillment, but is also crucial for supplying them with the tools required for building better societies.

The sponsorship program was launched in 2011 and is currently operational in the province of Nyanza, Kenya, where selected children receive scholarships that allow them to attend high quality secondary schools.

The reasons behind the creation of such program can be found here. The program will expand to other villages and other countries in the coming months. For more information about the sponsorship program and success stories, please visit the From Streets to Scholars page.

The Process

• Scholarships sponsors contact us via the website or through word of mouth. We match sponsors with specific children who have been selected and waiting for a scholarship.
  
• Sponsors have the opportunity to support a child by providing them with a yearly scholarship. Become asks sponsors for a minimum of a one-year commitment. However, it is encouraged that they support the child for the entire duration of his/her high school studies.

• The scholarship provided is for each child is 650 US dollars per year. This amount covers: tuition fees, boarding, adequate nutrition, uniforms, school material and health care. 

• Scholarship payments can be forwarded in one, two or three installments, according to the sponsor’s preference. Payment can be made with a credit card, cheque or in cash.

• Every year, the Become team sends sponsors the academic results of the child they are supporting, accompanied by additional news about that child’s progress and ongoing activities.

• Sponsors also receive hand-written letters from the children from time to time, and can send letters/presents in return, in coordination with Become.
