SPONSOR A STUDENT

We are currently supporting 6 young Afar (3 females) students through college and university. You can help with a one-off contribution, or by making a weekly or monthly contribution.
It costs approx. $10,000 AUD a year per student to cover their tuition and living expenses to be based in the capital city of Addis Ababa. Currently 4 of our 6 students are being sponsored, however we still need to cover costs for 2 of our current students and raise additional funds so that we can offer this opportunity to more young people.
