GENERAL GIFT TO THE SPARROW FUND
If you want to give a gift where it is most needed, you've come to the right place. Our children and their families have many needs, and they are not always predictable. Also, we sometimes encounter a shortage when it comes time to pay school fees. Your gift will give us the flexibility to meet these needs as they come up. And you can be confident the money will go to help people in need, not to administrative costs.

VOCATIONAL TRAINING FOR A TEENAGER
Not all of our students are meant for the academic life. Some struggle and want to drop out. We encourage them to finish at least Primary 7, so they will have basic skills, and then we find a vocational program that works for them. Sometimes there is a time lag, and their sponsor gets assigned a different child. We need donors to help us pay for vocational school tuition so that these students can get a good start on a practical career. Programs include tailoring, knitting, hairdressing, catering, mechanical, secretarial, carpentry. $100 covers one term of vocational training.

SUPPORT GIRLS HYGIENE
Many girls lose five days of school a month, due to their menstrual period. Without access to hygienic products, they may resort to using rags or even leaves to stop the flow. To avoid the embarrassment of a leak, the girls stay home from school. We supply washable pads and underwear to girls when they reach the age of menstruation, and our female staff member works to prepare them even before their period starts. Most of our girls are being raised without a mother, so this mentorship is important to them. $10 gives a year's supply of pads and underwear for one girl.
