When you embark on the journey of sponsoring a child through Zara Charity, you’re given a
unique opportunity to connect with a young learner in need. We facilitate this process by
sending you a comprehensive list of our students, complete with detailed profiles. From this
list, you’ll have the privilege of hand-picking the child or children you’d like to sponsor. This
personal choice allows you to establish a meaningful connection with the child, making your
sponsorship experience deeply fulfilling and personal.

The sponsorship commitment covers a range of essential expenses that ensure a child’s holistic
development and educational journey. This includes school fees, covering the cost of quality
education; boarding fees, providing a nurturing and safe environment for the child; uniforms,

ensuring they have proper attire for school; and all necessary necessities to support their well-
being. In total, the sponsorship cost per child per year is $850. By shouldering these expenses,

you’re not only enabling a child’s education but also empowering them with the tools and
resources they need to thrive academically and personally.

Zara Charity provides you with two distinct options for selecting the child or children you’d like
to sponsor:
Option 1: Personal Selection – We’ll send you a detailed list of children along with their profiles,
allowing you to peruse their stories and backgrounds. You have the freedom to choose the child
or children with whom you feel a special connection. Your choice reflects your commitment to
making a tangible difference in their lives, fostering a unique bond that transcends geographical
boundaries.

Option 2: Zara Charity Assistance – If you prefer, our dedicated team at Zara Charity is more
than willing to assist you in the selection process. We can carefully choose a child on your
behalf, ensuring that your sponsorship is directed to a child who is in genuine need and will
benefit significantly from your support. This option is a testament to our commitment to
matching your generosity with the most deserving recipients.

Child sponsorship through Zara Charity is a lifeline extended to those who need it the most
within the Maasai community. Eligible children typically fall into the following categories:
Child with One Parent: These children often face unique challenges due to the loss of one
parent. Your sponsorship provides them with the stability and support they need to navigate
life’s obstacles and pursue their dreams.
Child with No Parent (Orphan): Orphaned children are among the most vulnerable in the
community. Your sponsorship offers them more than just educational opportunities; it gives
them a family of supporters, a sense of belonging, and a chance at a brighter future.
Child with Hardship in Life: Some children within the Maasai community encounter hardships
that make accessing education and resources a daily struggle. Your sponsorship acts as a
catalyst for change, offering them a lifeline out of adversity and into a world of possibilities.

As of now, Zara Charity has proudly sponsored seven out of the 95 children within our program.
These sponsorships have already made a profound impact on the lives of these young learners.
Your decision to sponsor a child means you’re joining a compassionate community of
supporters who believe in the power of education and empowerment. Together, we are making
a tangible difference, one child at a time, and collectively contributing to the development and
transformation of the entire Maasai community.
By choosing to sponsor a child with Zara Charity, you’re not only changing a life; you’re
illuminating a path towards a brighter future. Your support enables dreams, fosters learning,
and uplifts communities. We invite you to embark on this remarkable journey of change and
hope with us, as together, we build a world where every child has the opportunity to thrive and
succeed.
