spi
sponsorship
SPI started changing children's lives around Ghana in August 2006 with the launch of our project to reach out to the needy, the initiative aims at providing funding for school supplies and textbooks for countless children in need.
With SPI supporting more than 150 children in children’s homes and schools, the needs are constant. You can help us plan for the many needs of these children year-round with your faithful monthly support. We will send all our monthly sponsors a special thank you follow up that includes a photo and story of a child who is receiving a better tomorrow thanks to you. Knowing we can rely on your regular gift will help us focus on the needs of the children and together we will all be partners in providing a brighter future for Africa’s children.
The program is a merit and financial need-based scholarship program that ensures well-deserving children are not limited in pursuing their dreams. We invite individuals, companies and NGOs both local and international to join hands in reducing the number of vulnerable children and completely eradicating child poverty, solving issues related to child labour and solving some basic community challenges.
Your donations allow us to continue impacting communities within Ghana. No donation is too small and ways to support are:
