Support
Two ways to sustain this work.
You can accompany a student through their whole journey, or contribute to the fund that sustains the operation.
Sponsorship Program
You can support a student from the moment they enter higher education until they graduate.
The access benefit covers tuition. Sustaining a degree also requires the everyday: the fare to campus, meals, materials, a connection to study at home. When those are missing, the student does not drop out because of poor performance. They drop out even while doing well.
Most of your contribution goes directly to the student, according to the needs identified during their assessment. A smaller share sustains the Foundation’s operation, and that proportion is disclosed to you when you join and accounted for in the reports.
That share is not an abstract administrative cost. It is what keeps the student from being alone: psychological support when the pressure builds, tutoring when a subject becomes difficult, academic monitoring term after term. Our students do not need resources alone. They need someone paying attention, and that has to be sustained too.
You will receive regular updates on that student’s progress and on how the resources you contributed were used.
Sponsorship conditions
Student protection
The relationship is managed entirely through the Foundation. No direct contact is established between sponsor and student without the express authorization of the guardian in the case of minors, and under no circumstances are sensitive data or identifying information shared without prior consent.
Use of contributions
Contributions are not handed over in cash to the student or their family. They are executed through direct payments to third parties or to the educational institution, according to the needs documented in each beneficiary’s support plan.
Scope of the relationship
Sponsorship does not confer any influence over the selection of beneficiaries, over the student’s academic decisions or over the Foundation’s operation. It is agreed for academic periods and is renewable by mutual agreement.
Transparency
Each sponsorship is formalized in writing, specifying the use of the resources, the exact proportion directed to the student and to operations, the frequency of reports and the conditions for termination.
Donations
You can give whatever amount you decide, once or as often as you wish.
Unlike sponsorship, which follows one particular student, a donation goes into the general fund. It covers what is not assigned to anyone in particular: assessment instruments, travel to schools and home visits, workshop materials, and emergency support when something unexpected puts a student’s continuity at risk.
