For many families who live hand-to-mouth from the land in the villages around Noah's Ark, the chances they can pay for their children to go to school are next to nothing. Many of the families are illiterate and have little hope of substantially changing their lives.
Typically, the father is absent and the mother moves from job to job in distant villages so care for these children comes down to grandparents. Most of these caretakers grow vegetables is a small garden to sell at the market and more often than not, this income is not enough even for basic needs.
We believe that education is the key to breaking this cycle of poverty and believe education will give them a New Horizon. Together with a parents committee, Noah's Ark identifies the neediest families in the surrounding villages and offer them a scholarship to attend school.
You can help a child go to school for as little as $40 a month
As a sponsor, you will receive an update two or three times reporting your sponsored child's academic progress, a photo plus a personal message or drawing.
You can be sure your sponsorship is used for what it is intended because missionaries, volunteers and the founders raise their own support through other channels.

Robinah's mother sells undergarments but is so irresponsible and she doesn't want to have anything to do with her child. Her grandmother cannot feed Robinah as pay for her school fees. She also has an aunt who's been helping her with food and medication but she has a family of her own and cannot pay for Robinah’s school fees so Robinah needs help to keep her in school.
