Sponsor a Girl's
Secondary Education

A number of times Isaac and Christine Oyako have had a young teen-age girl brought to them, or to their attention, either because she has been orphaned, or has been rejected out of her home for becoming a Christian. Each time they seek diligently for a sponsor to help that girl get an education - which is not free in Uganda - so that she will be able to be self-supporting.

Sometimes that means a secondary or high school first, and then college to get training for a career. You may see the photos of the girls that have already received sponsors in the past here - sponsored girls.

We have several new new girls needing sponsorship right now. If you would consider helping one or more girls get an education, it will have a wonderfully liberating effect, allowing her to support herself with a good job, or even to start a business.

Read "Faith's Story" to get a sense of some of the drama involved in these girls' lives. Please look at Irene's story too, which shows what a difference sponsors can make to one girl's life.

Note: In Ugandan schools there are fees that are due at the start of each semester. For the secondary, (or high school in North American terms) that is about $200. For university semesters, it is about $500. We are suggesting a bit more than $200 (or $600 for those gonig to university) to cover the additional PayPal fees, etc., which RTM cannot afford at this time.

You might prefer to mail in a cheque, but that can take many weeks to arrive, so it would have to be sent in well in advance of the semester

For a donation exactly $210 US. Please indicate the girl's name in the comments.

Perhaps you would like to make it $620 for a whole year? Be sure to specify the girl you want to sponsor in the comment area, unless you want to leave it up to our discretion.

In either case, we will send you a photo of this girl so you may pray for her. May God bless you for your generosity!

Our Thank You Gift

Education is not offered free to all children in Uganda. It must be paid for and involves private schools. Fortunately the cost is much lower than we are used to seeing in North America or Europe. $200 to $500 per semester seems like a horrendous amount to these teen-age girls, so you may be able to sponsor a girl for one or even all the semesters of one year at school.

We would truly appreciate prayers to go along with yoru gift, and to help with that, Ruth shall send you a framed photo of your sponsoredd girl if you contribute at least $520 or more, perhaps the whole year's tuition for one girl. This way you can grow familiar with her face, and be reiminded often to lift her up in prayer that she may become a godly woman, who walks with the Lord and trusts Him completely.

We will prepare more information to understand the current situation with education in Uganda, its promise and its challenges. Particularly for girls and for women.

We will also look at ways to handle sponsorship of children in various situations, and weigh the best approaches to take.
