Support Destiny Children

If you would like to support Children of Destiny financially there are different opportunities.
You can help us with the most urgent short-term needs; any amount of money is helpful to cover running costs.
You can help us with our projects – at the moment we concentrate on the improvement of the kitchen, a chicken coop and then there is also a fishpond in the planning stage.
We would be happy to talk to you about a long-term commitment like school sponsoring; we have listed a few opportunities.
Please talk to us if you are interested in supporting Children of Destiny.

List of urgent short-term needs
We usually need support for the grocery shopping. However, at the moment we have that covered.

List of sponsoring opportunities
– Twelve children don’t have school sponsors.
Unfortunately, without sponsorship for school fees many will not get the chance to attend school.
School fees range from €50 (Nursery) to €110 (6th Class) per term depending on the age/level of the student. A uniform costs €22 while lunch costs from €7 to €25 depending on age/level.
– School shoes 1 pair per child at 25,000 – 35,000 TSH = 709,500 TSH for 24 pairs
(452 USD, 333 EUR, 279 GBP)

We are grateful for any support that enables us to send the children to a good school – which will enable them to develop their potentials. We are particularly interested in people committing to support one of the children through school and to be a mentor for them.
