Being a Sponsor − Caring for a Vulnerable Child
The Christensen family tell about their experience sponsoring Slaju. They learned of him at a Songea's Kids Day-of-Service event, and
decided to sponsor him. He was able to get the medical care he needed. He is now in school and thriving thanks to their sponsorship.
They have made sponsorship a family affair.
These Children Need Sponsors!
Please Consider Sponsoring a Child!
Education
While the Basic Needs sponsorship gives the child a solid foundation free from concern over the daily necessities, an Education Sponsorship gives a path to a brighter future
by supporting kids through secondary school. Then, once they complete their secondary education, a Scholarship Sponsorship will give them the opportunity to achieve a career
or a profession. Through education, we can break the circle of poverty and help transform the community.
SK Philosophy − Education Is Key
This video explains Songea's Kids educational philosophy and the successes that it has generated. Songea's Kids supports the education of every sponsored
child to the level they are able to attain. Many children were supported through our program and now have a trade, a career, or a profession and can support
a family and give back to their community. "Education is key for a bright, independent future."
Watch the video and learn how you can help us support our children's education.
Scholarship Sponsors
Higher education has the power to transform lives. Our students strive to reach their potential, and each year, we have students who have excelled in their academic studies
and are admitted to college or university programs in Tanzania. To date, we have 7 graduates from university and teachers’ college who are now working professionals, securing
a solid future for themselves and their families, and contributing to the development of their communities and their nation. This year, we have 6 students currently studying
at university and college, and in Fall 2023, we have 3 additional students who may also qualify. Sponsors of higher education make it possible for these students to attend
college and university and realize their potential in life.
Education − Path to Prosperity
All of the children sponsored through Songea's Kids get an education. Education is key to breaking the cycle of poverty and a path to self-sufficiency. Our children are supported
to attend vocational school to learn a trade or to attend college or university for a professional career. Watch to learn more about our education program and the children who have
risen from poverty to graduate to a career/profession. Learn how you can help by donating a Scholarship.

Special Needs
The sponsored children often need items or medical treatment that are not covered by the Basic Needs. The needed items can range from beds for children sleeping on the dirt
floor, mosquito nets, all the way to the repair or replacement of their foster home. Medical treatment can be a prosthetic device, wheelchair, surgery, hearing aids, all the
way to cancer treatment. This is all paid for through donations to the Greatest Needs. Below are a couple of examples of donations making a big difference in the lives of our
children. Please consider a donation to the Greatest Needs.
Providing for Children with Special Needs
There are a number of sponsored children that have special needs beyond the Basic Sponsorship. This video give an overview of how Songea's Kids with the help of Greatest Needs donors
