A Gift of Education and Freedom!
In honor of a loved one, or as an alternative to traditional gift giving, you can sponsor a child survivor of
slavery for a full year of top quality education! Education will change the sponsored child’s
life forever, offering her or him a future free from slavery and exploitation. A card acknowledging and describing the gift will be sent to the recipient.
Made by Survivors sponsors
150 child survivors and kids born into brothels to attend school, many for the
first time in their lives. Some of these children have been enslaved in
brothels for sexual exploitation, before being rescued and sent to aftercare shelters.
Others were enslaved for industrial work, on farms, or as domestic servants. Some are the children of slaves, growing up
in red light areas and at high risk for being trafficked themselves.
How Sponsorship Helps: Children who are enslaved, or whose
parents are in slavery, are destined to grow up and repeat the cycle unless they are given
education and ongoing support to build a different kind of life. Education
transforms not only the children, but also their families, serving as an
inspiring example to others, and ultimately bringing sustainable income into
the family and community. The children
in our sponsorship program are already housed in loving shelter homes, or they
participate in drop-in programs.
However, the shelters and drop-in programs cannot always afford school
fees
.
Your Sponsorship Gift Pays For:
School fees, uniforms and supplies, transportation, and
either room and board in shelters or boarding schools, or afterschool support
and tutoring services for children living with their families.
What We Don’t Do:
Unlike many other school sponsorship programs, who use as
much as 50% of sponsorship donations for administrative fees, MadebySurvivors
uses 100% of sponsorship fees for the children’s education. Our overhead costs
are covered by the sale of products Made By Survivors and by a foundation grant
What we offer
Sponsors: Photo and
profile of sponsored child, , narrative reports from site visits, cards from sponsored
children, and progress updates or report cards as available.
Within two
weeks, the recipient will receive your child’s photo and background information. We know you will enjoy watching your child
blossom throughout the year. This is
truly a gift that keeps on giving for a lifetime!
