The Jajja’s Kids Scholarship Fund connects each child with a specific donor who provides financial support for that child’s education. 

​

As a Jajja’s Kids scholarship sponsor, you can make an incredible difference in helping a child reach his or her goals and dreams. This support paves the way for a bright future by enabling the child to complete their education and become a self-sufficient adult. Furthermore, this assistance has a ripple effect, benefiting the child’s family and community. 

​

Below are some frequently asked questions regarding the Scholarship Fund​

​

Why is the Scholarship Fund Important?  

Education in Uganda is expensive at all levels. As many of our children progress through secondary school and begin higher education to achieve their career goals, educational costs for Jajja’s Kids have significantly increased. 

Currently, annual costs are: Primary School ($1,800), Secondary School ($2,000), Post-Secondary Vocational & Technical Training ($2,500), and University ($5,000). The Scholarship Fund helps ensure that we sufficiently support each child’s education until completion.

​

Who Can Be a Sponsor? 

Sponsors of the Jajja’s Kids Scholarship Fund can include individuals or groups of friends, family, business associates or other organizations. If joining as a group, we ask that one person be designated as point of contact with Jajja’s Kids.

 

To adequately meet educational costs, we suggest an annual individual or group donation of at least $500. Since all donations are greatly appreciated, donors who wish to contribute a lower amount may do so by instead donating to our general education fund.

To completely fund each child’s education, more than one sponsor may be assigned to an individual Jajja’s Kid.

 

What Information About a Child is Available to Their Sponsor?  

Sponsors will receive an initial description and photograph of their child, along with updates at least twice annually from our Uganda staff on the child’s educational and personal development. There may also be opportunities for direct contact in the future as technology and communication methods allow. 

 

Can a Sponsor Provide Monetary and Non-Monetary Gifts to Their Jajja’s Kid?

Due to logistical challenges, it may be impractical for sponsors to send non-monetary gifts to their child. However, small monetary gifts for special events, such as birthdays, graduations, or other celebrations, are appreciated by Jajja’s Kids.
