The Elevation Project

The Elevation Sponsorship Program

Education is the key to the future wherever you are in the world, whether that’s in Canada or thousands of miles away in Rwanda. The only trouble is that education is not always available. 

In Rwanda, public education is crippled by a severe lack of resources. Because of this, kids from the poorest backgrounds often receive a poor education and don’t get the chance to escape from the poverty that surrounds them.
Kigali Christian School (KCS), a private school operated by Rwanda Youth for Christ, aims to provide excellent education to train leaders in all fields to move Rwanda forward — not only helping the children and their families, but the country as a whole. While KCS seeks to keep their fees low, approximately 30% of the students cannot afford to pay. Student sponsorship has allowed KCS to offer scholarships to these children who otherwise could not afford the quality education that they provide.

In 2007, Greater Vancouver Youth Unlimited decided to partner with KCS to help them educate this new generation of Rwandan students. It costs CA$480 a year for a child to receive education at Kigali Christian School.
Sponsoring a child for $40 per month provides school supplies, lunch every day for students who might not otherwise have a decent meal, and an excellent Christian education by loving teachers. By sponsoring one of these students, you can be a part of giving them the key to their future — a good education.

We already have over 100 children being sponsored through the program allowing them to receive a great education, food, clothing and all the skills and support they need to succeed in a life that they could only have previously dreamed of. The more sponsors we can find, means more children getting an education. which means more hope for the future.

For just forty dollars a month we can change a child’s life. We can provide salaries for teachers, clothing, school supplies, books, food and all that they need. For so little, we can achieve so much.
