Sponsor a Child
Help Send a Child to School
In Nepal, children from very poor families, affected by leprosy or other disadvantages, are usually sent out to work. Your support can help them receive an education instead.
Just £15 a month will enable a family to send a child to school in Nepal.
Your contribution will help provide food, uniform and school books. It will also contribute to the family income, allowing the child to finish their education.
Continued support to a family is dependent on receiving school reports, etc, proving that the child is attending school.
The Lydia Children’s Fund
The Lydia Children’s Fund is our sponsorship scheme set up to enable children from very poor families to receive an education.
There are currently over 60 children being sponsored through the Lydia scheme, and many more who have long since finished. Some of these children, supported by sponsors, have gone on to further education and opportunities that would have been completely impossible for them without Lydia Children’s Fund.
One child, whose entire school education was supported by this scheme, went on to study medicine and then qualified as a doctor. Several others have become trained nurses.
Education is one of the key ways of lifting families out of poverty.
Please join in this support that changes lives.

Children Waiting for Sponsors
Kajal Kumari
Sponsorship ID: ?
Kajal Kumari is 9 years old and is in class 2, when she can go to school. She has three brothers and a sister. Her father and grandfather are both affected by leprosy, the grandfather having had a leg amputated. Her father does earn a small income through daily labouring work, but her mother is also disabled and does not earn.
Kajal’s situation is therefore difficult and her education is patchy at best, although her family would like her to be able to go to school. If someone was able to sponsor Kajal then it would be a huge help to this family, and would help Kajal to feel more confident about school and her future.
