Out of Afrika Child Sponsorship

Out of Afrika’s child sponsorship program unites children in need with individual sponsors who wish to address the children's immediate, basic and educational needs.

Education is a basic right for children everywhere and of vital importance for the development of a country. Education will revolutionize a child's whole life, bringing a permanent change to the child and their entire family. Education will also begin to remove the curse of poverty from the country.

Children's rights should not have to depend on the economic capacity of their parents. The right to a good education is the most fundamental right of a child.

Unfortunately due to poverty many children miss out on an education. Parents or guardians are expected to provide everything from classroom construction, to books and uniforms for their child, as well as maintenance of the school. Consequently many parents simply do not have the money to send their children to school.

Many Kenyan families are subsistence farmers and for those lucky enough to have employment earn very little. Out of Afrika aims to link sponsors with needy children, many of whom are orphans, to enable them to continue their education.

Sponsor a Child today

The costs of sponsoring a primary school child is £15 a month and secondary school is £20 a month.

This amount covers school fees, uniform, shoes, home clothes, books, stationery, part medical costs and basic/general needs for the child.

There are many ways you can help vulnerable children and families. Many of our supporters choose to support our work with a regular gift. Donations via Direct Debit enable us to respond quickly and efficiently.

Out of Africa Online Shop

Should any sponsor want to order a gift for their sponsored child, they can do so by ordering through OOA online shop, you can pay by credit or debit card through paypal or by sending an email to Julie@outofafrika.org  with your request. This allows sponsors to choose a gift from OOA online gift shop in the knowledge that these gifts will be bought in Kenya and given out to your child and family before Christmas.

Below is a breakdown of how primary and secondary school children benefit from sponsors donations.

Primary School

Uniform – dress/shorts/blouse/pullover/shoes/schoolbag/textbooks/storybooks stationery/ exercise books/pens/pencils and extra tuition

We also provide a lunch for those children who otherwise wouldn’t have a meal. Sometimes that lunch may be the only meal they have in a day.

The children are individually assessed to find out their needs and often we provide extra food to the families, mosquito nets, beds, mattresses, bedding and other basic necessities.

Secondary School

School fees, examination fees and other educational material
Uniform – dress, trouser/blouse/pullover/school bag/shoes


If you have any questions please call us on (Tel 01202 694492) and we will do our best to help.

Textbooks provided by the government are not enough for every child. They are shared between several children. This means not every child will carry a book home and so no homework can be done. The only books provided by the government are the course books for English, Maths and Kiswahili. The guardian is expected to provide the rest and if they are unable to the child will have to do without.

Since OOA educational sponsorship started we have seen many children go up to High School and some of them have been admitted to some of the best high schools in Kenya.

For those leaving High School with a good grade (C+ or above) and who meet our selection process there is the opportunity for them to continue at our college, International Centre of Technology where there is a choice of academic courses or vocational skills training.
