One sponsorship. One child. One year. See how a single $35 donation creates measurable, lasting change in a child's literacy journey and opens doors that were previously closed.

What does $35 actually do? It is a question we get asked often. The answer is both simple and profound: it gives one child twelve months of uninterrupted access to digital literacy education.

The $35 Model

We designed our Sponsor a Child programme around a single, achievable price point. At $35 per year — less than $3 per month — a sponsor provides:

  • Full access to our digital reading platform (1,000+ books)
  • Personalised assessment and placement
  • Gamified reading challenges and rewards
  • Monthly progress reports shared with parents and teachers

Amara's Story

When Amara joined our programme in January, she was in Grade 3 but reading at a Grade 1 level. Her teacher had identified her as "slow" — not knowing that Amara simply had never had access to books at her reading level.

Within three months of joining, Amara moved to grade-level reading. Within six months, she was one of her class's most enthusiastic readers. By year-end, she was helping her classmates.

Her sponsor — a software engineer from London — received monthly updates throughout. "I've sponsored other causes," he told us, "but this is the first time I've actually seen a face, a name, and real progress."

The Multiplier Effect

Children who learn to read don't just benefit themselves. Research consistently shows that a child's literacy level is the single strongest predictor of future educational attainment — and by extension, economic mobility.

Your $35 is not a donation. It is an investment in a human life.
