SPONSORSHIP
Introduction to Sponsorship All children need food, clothing, a loving home, protection, and positive influences. But they also must have the education to navigate and succeed in the world. Flames of Compassion Uganda needs your help to support these children to school. The cost is not insignificant, but our children get the best education available at Way to Go Junior School. The rewards to both you and your sponsored child are breathtaking. You cannot fully know the joy of sponsoring a youngster until you see the kid you have supported, graduate with honors from college. Knowing the depths from which these children have risen makes these achievements even more prized. Flames of Compassion Uganda’s children hope to become teachers, community activists, soldiers, musicians, politicians, nurses, administrators, lawyers, and advocates for change. We are in awe as we watch these young people climb. Please read further to learn how you can send a child to school.
Cost of Sponsorship
Annual tuition and costs for Primary School, range from $500.00 to $1,150.00. Secondary School costs range from $625.00 to $1,750. For $600 a year, payable in total or in monthly installments of $50.00, you can change the life of a vulnerable child. We recognize that $50 per month is not an insignificant amount of money. If you are unable to sponsor one child for a full year, we also have a general education fund that allows us to send unsponsored children to school. You are welcome to make a monthly or annual donation of any amount that recognizes both your needs and your desire to support a child. Items Included in the Sponsorship Fee When sending a child to school in Uganda, there are expenses in addition to tuition. Your sponsorship will cover school uniforms and dress shoes, scholastic materials, meals, exams, development fees, registration costs, school activities, and administration fees. When a child is sponsored at Way to Go Junior School the sponsorship fee also pays for a safe and supportive living environment. Flames of Compassion Uganda has a well-planned strategy of involvement. The Flames of Compassion Uganda staff makes frequent school visits to monitor and evaluate children’s class performance, their conduct, participation in extracurricular activities, and to listen to assessments by the class teachers. The costs of evaluation and monitoring are included in the sponsorship fee.
How to Choose a Child for Sponsorship
All our children are worthy of an education and it is not always easy to choose a child to sponsor. Some sponsors choose our most vulnerable children—a child, affected by HIV/AIDS, one who has suffered exploitation or abuse, or was orphaned at an early age. Others choose a child by age, or a child who has been waiting a long time for a sponsor. If you prefer, Flames of Compassion Uganda will recommend a child for sponsorship. We will supply a potential sponsor with photographs and biographical details about the child.
Length of Sponsorship
Sponsorship continues for as long as a sponsor is willing and able to sponsor a child. For individual sponsorship, we ask that you sponsor a child for at least a full year of schooling. Or, if possible, sponsor a child until they finish Primary or Secondary schooling. The longer the sponsorship, the better it is for the child. Knowing that they are supported ensures that they can stay in school and helps them work with Flames of Compassion Uganda to plan their future. It also gives both the sponsor and the sponsored child more time to get to know each other and to build a meaningful relationship. If you are unable to sponsor a child for at least a full year of schooling, we also have a general education fund that allows us to send unsponsored children to school.
Group Sponsorship
Flames of Compassion Uganda encourages group sponsorships. Church groups, friends and family, and schools may join together to sponsor children, but there should be one correspondent who will be in charge of all communications with Flames of Compassion Uganda.

Programs Supported by Your Donations
Housing
We provide safe and secure housing for vulnerable children at our homes in Kampala and Kalangala, and our school in Katiiti-Nakibengo.
Food
Flames of Compassion Uganda feeds about 70 resident and non-resident children daily. We strive to grow our own food at our home and school, promote community gardens, and teach farming on our community. Since the cost of food has increased dramatically in these uncertain times, we need help to ensure that our children get the healthy meals they need to grow.
Education
We educate our children at Way to Go Junior School in Katiiti Nakibengo. Flames of Compassion Uganda also planning to work with a network of organizations and professionals to teach our children life skills that will sustain them. We raise funds through our local and international sponsors, receive grants, and reach out to donors to cover school fees. But the quality education that we provide is not inexpensive. It is our mission to educate all of our children, and we are in urgent need of educational sponsorship. See SPONSORSHIP for more information.
Medical Care
Flames of Compassion Uganda plans to have a well-equipped sick room and a resident nurse on staff. But since so many of our children have suffered trauma, we also have a strong psycho-social department. We are always in need of funds and medicine from our partners and sponsors.
Rehabilitation and Reunification
Once a child has been rehabilitated, the complex process of reunification begins for children who want to return home. Social workers visit the home and counsel the family and the community. When all parties sanction the child’s return, Flames of Compassion Uganda takes him or her home.
Community Empowerment
Our Community Empowerment program is designed to expand Flames of Compassion Uganda’s reach and influence in the underserved community of Katiiti Nakibengo. Our far-reaching program identifies and works with matters that influence change and quality of life. These issues include self-help groups, building community resilience, food security, conservation agriculture, health, children’s rights, child protection, parenting and environmental education.
