Sponsor a child!

Light up the hope, sponsor a child!

Sponsorship provides resources for education and health programs to improve children’s life. Through sponsorship, you make better childrens and families life conditions, funding projects that make a real and sustainable difference. This is really more than a simply economical help. In this way you can establish a real connection between people coming from two different countries, based on true love and caring.

Our project includes 100 Senegalese children from 3 to 15 years old who come from families living in poverty. The 90% of the children contracted a chronic form of malaria, an endemic illness that requires periodical medical care. In Senegal free health care doesn’t exist in any form.
Others children contracted meningitis, that leads to serious hearing and eyesight damages.

With only 310€ contribution per year (25.80€ per month), we can guarantee them a basic health care, instruction, an healthy diet and, hopefully, a better future.
The annual 310€ contribution can be paid with a single settlement or with two six-monthly payments of 155€ or with four three-monthly payment of 77.50€.

Ritmi Africani underwrote the Charter of Principles and Quality Criteria of Child Sponsorship drawed up by the city of Turin. 

We are all pure volunteers, so that all the funds raised are only used for projects.

In the involved communities, several volunteers of our group take care of coordinating and monitoring the child sponsorship project. Each coordinator follows 10 children and that allows us to know very well all children and their families too.

The financial support amount is used in the following way:
- 135 euro: medical insurance for the child to cover medical expenses (medical examinations, medicines, possible hospitalizations);
- 135 euro: school enrolment, payment of the school canteen, school materials purchasing, shoes and dresses purchasing;
- 40 euro: relief fund for children who are still not adopted and running costs.

Do you want to meet your child?

If you would like to meet your child, you can come with us to see our projects and to get to know your child.

You just need to contact one of the responsible of our projects to agree on the terms of the trip.

We remind you that is not possible to bring a child in your country. We strongly consider tearing him from the bosom of his family and his reality will be traumatic and useless too.

Exchanging letters

You have the opportunity to write a letter to your child, sending him pictures, small presents that we'll personally give it to him during our voluntary trips. Once we'll come back, you'll receive a picture of the child, a letter or one of his drawings.

We advise you to write short letters, with a simple vocabulary and easy subjects. We always need to consider his every-day life is really different from ours.

If you want to sponsor a child you can write or call us. We'll give you all the information you need!
