BACKGROUND:

Dativa is a young female refugee from the Democratic Republic of Congo. She lives with her mother and four siblings at Nakivale Refugee Settlement. Her father sadly passed away last year after a long battle with prostate cancer, leaving the family under the care of their mother, who is mentally ill and unable to work or provide for her children.

Life for Dativa's family is a daily struggle. They have no decent accommodation, and the small support they receive from UNHCR cannot sustain them even for a week. Food, medication, clothing, and school supplies remain a constant challenge.

Yet in the middle of all this hardship shines a determined and brilliant girl. Dativa is known for her excellent class performance, ranking among the best in her class at Nakivale Hope School. She dreams of completing her studies and lifting her family out of poverty. She dreams of becoming a teacher after studies.

You can sponsor Dativa for $50 per month.

ABOUT YOUR NEW SPONSORSHIP

To sponsor a child or class, complete the form above with your contact details, naming the child or class, and their number.

We will be in touch by email and forward a form for filling in your payment details and other information. You can scan, fill in and email back to our office, or take a photo on your phone and send to us.

Soon, you will receive an introductory letter from your selected child or class / teacher from Africa, and a beautiful profile card of your child/class.

African children love receiving letters from you, as well as a photo of your family. These can be scanned and emailed to our office for forwarding to our partner in Africa who will print and deliver your letter.

Sponsored children can be visited in country depending on their local environment at the time, your visa, or permit to enter a refugee settlement and arrangements with our African project partner.

Please note: every African child wants to be a doctor or a lawyer, a pilot or an engineer! Your sponsorship may not get them that far, however, they will have a brighter future, whether they complete secondary, tertiary or a vocational course.

It is good to be aware that sometimes children leave the region and are lost from our program, others are forbidden to continue study, some are forced into early marriage and occasionally some die. We hope that your sponsoring experience will be a long and rewarding one.

Enquiries? Please call in to Jambo Sana, 72 Main Rd, Nairne, or phone our office Wednesday to Friday 0881880398 or emai  hope@ahi.org.au

Thankyou for Caring!
