If you haven't check out the
Child Hope Zambia Blog, you need to check it out! This sponsorship program is revolutionary because we get to request how we would like things done! As you can see by looking at the photo above, these children need uniforms, shoes, hygiene kits, school bags, etc. With sponsorship, they will get just what they need!
For the Primary age students (grade levels 1-7), I want to show you the gift distribution schedule. This way you know when your sponsor child will get each thing they need. They will, also, get a picture of the child with each gift distribution! Here is the schedule for these children (this is for those sponsors that choose to pay monthly, the gifts are distributed as there is enough money raised to purchase them. This explains why the first month they will not get anything):
Month 1: nothing bought for child
Month 2: uniform bought and given to child
Month 3: nothing bought for the child
Month 4: hygiene kit bought and given to child
Month 5: nothing bought for the child
Month 6: school bag, exercise books, pencil, eraser, ruler
Month 7: nothing bought for the child
Month 8: school fees paid
Month 9: nothing bought for child
Month 10: nothing bought for child
Month 11: nothing bought for child
Month 12: shoes and socks bought for child
There is a balance carried over each month to cover the purchase of medication for malaria, worms, and other ailments.
