Save Sunshine Shelter kids has now been running a child sponsorship program since 2018. We believe in child sponsorship because it connects people like you with children that are miles away from you and gives you the opportunity to develop a unique and personal relationship with your sponsor child. Each sponsor child gets the opportunity to go to school, a new school uniform each year, exercise books and stationary, lunchtime meals where possible and access to First Aid and sanitary products. We believe Child Sponsorship is a wonderful way to transform lives, for generations to come. Join us to continue transforming lives for the better.

Just $45 per month you can help to give a child a brighter future. Euro – €42 US – $45 Canada – $50 Australia – $50

Yes! We encourage you to write letters to your child. The best way to do this is by e–mailing it to sponsorshipsunshineshelterkids@gmail.com or send a physical letter. Your child will write back to you. In a usual year we post letters from sponsored children in June and November. Note that this pattern can be disrupted by crisis that can be health reasons, or lockdowns.

We recommend up to three times a year. However, it is entirely up to yourself, so if you are not a writer, please do not feel that you must write every month.

All children love to receive gifts! However, there are many obstacles to overcome in sending gifts to developing countries such as Uganda. We recommend not sending large gifts to your child but perhaps including small gifts with your letter e.g. pencils, stickers, t–shirt or light flip flops. The postal address is: Child's Name SAVE SUNSHINE SHELTER KIDS, P.O. Box 34487 Kampala, Uganda. East Africa Please bear in mind the cost of postage. You may consider sending money via our shop-giving-catalog rather than posting items. This way the gift can be of benefits and it ensures that the gift is culturally appropriate.

Save Sunshine Shelter kids sends 95% of your donation to Uganda for children in Primary and Secondary school. That is the minimum donation amount to sponsor a child. This will cover school fees, school uniforms, scholastic materials, meals where possible, basic medical treatment and also the development of their education. For example, any money left over from all the children attending one school, may go towards purchasing the clothes of the sponsored child and further getting the documentation of the child that is through traveling and finding all needed information regarding the children through family tracing. Part of this additional money is used to cover children whose sponsors are unable to continue with sponsorship most of the time. Note: For International donors we set the rate in your local currency, as exchange rates vary over time.

A photo and short personal history of your child. A history of the child’s native country. The joy of knowing you’re making a difference to a needy child. The opportunity to correspond with your child, who will write to you 3 times a year.

Child sponsorship costs just $45 per month to sponsor either a child in nursery school, primary school, secondary school or vocational college, this is because the cost of things and materials are very high and many schools are charging highly as well.

Yes! You can sponsor from all over the world. We ask our international sponsors to pay a little extra to cover additional postage costs.

You can pay by direct by using Send wave, Western Union, flutter wave, send wave and our bank account. You can also pay online from anywhere in the world using credit and debit cards. If neither of these options suit you, please do get in touch with our office to arrange an alternative method of payment by emailing us, zoom with us for more information.
