Sponsor a Child on the Path Out of Poverty

Sponsoring a child on the Path Out of Poverty (POP) programme is all about helping African children to escape the many ‘poverty traps’ that they find in their lives.

Life in Africa is tough for many children. Many of them suffer terribly and cannot find a way to escape the grinding poverty that they see all around them.

Well there is ‘good news’ we have a formula that we have worked on over the last twelve years and have named this anti poverty ‘formula’, the Path out of Poverty (POP). Because that is exactly what it does.

The POP staff work with hundreds of African children from poor, broken or dysfunctional families, children who start out in life being hungry, abused, unloved and unnoticed.

The POP programme is long term and focused on three important areas. These are Education, Health and Personal Development. The programme is uncomplicated and stretches over 20 years. By the time we are finished the child that has been on the POP programme has beaten the numerous ‘poverty traps’ and is well on the way to having a happy, responsible and valued adult life.

THE PROGRAMME WORKS!

All of us who work on the POP programme have witnessed amazing and heart- warming success stories.

We want to expand the programme to reach thousands of poor rural African children and we want to invite you to join us.

Please consider SPONSORING a child. For ten pounds a month you will be able to follow the progress of one child.

You will have the pleasure of watching a child blossom and grow into an educated and responsible citizen. We will send you regular annual reports on the progress that your sponsored child is making and if you ever come to the Cape you will be most welcome to visit the child and personally talk to him or her.

Interested? Then print out and fill in the Child Sponsorship Form attached and return it to us.

Sincerely,

Ingrid Lestrade
