As a result, the amount of annual sponsorship will vary from child to child dependant on a number of factors, notably thier age.
As an indicative amount, to sponsor a child through elementary school for a year will cost between 125 and 190 US dollars. We have recently reassessed our costs to ensure we are charging sponsors a price covering only direct costs of sponsorship (with some minor overheads- see cost breakdown) Lower Secondary and Secondary school pupils will cost slightly more. When you register your desire to sponsor, we will choose the next child on our list of worthy candidates and provide you with a description of this child and an annual cost specific to them before you commit. If you have any preferences (for example, a maxmium annual contribution you can make), please specify this when submitting the registration form.
How long will my sponsorship last?
Sponsorship is only truly effective if it continues for the duration for the child's time at school. Therefore, we request sponsors to be committed to supporting the child until they graduate from Grade Ten, in order to provide the child with a true foundation of education. Therefore sponsor financial relationships can last up to eleven years, depending on the age of the child at the time of sponsorship, though the real relationships can last for a lifetime. Should circumstances arise where the sponsor is unable to continue thier sponsorship we request that they advise us as soon as possible so we can make alternative arrangements.
Sponsors are encouraged to provide thier donations annually, and we will provide sponsors with revised costs, based on that child's new class/grade, each year.
some sponsors have chosen to support thier child through two years in college once thier time in school is complete. This is of course optional for sponsors as it costs up to $400 per year. Should a sponsor not wish to do this, FACE Nepal will find alternative funding
What contact will I have with my child?
Feedback reports on the health and well-being of your child will be sent on an annual basis. These show the improvements that your contribution is making to this child's life. Should you want an update between these reports- whether on a specific issue or generally, you are encouraged to email us at info@facenepal.org and we will provide you with an update as soon as possible
We encourage contact between you and your sponsored child, via a local community resident, and can also provide support
to you should you wish to visit your sponsored child via a community liaison officer.
I want to sponsor- what are the next steps?
If you are interested in looking at this sponsorship option please contact us with any remaining queries or submit a registration form. It is important to note that costs for schooling fees and other sponsored areas will vary slightly by region, by age group and will occasionally change with inflation and exchange rate fluctuations. Due to this diversity we will provide you with a quotation for you to approve with details of the child, the cost breakdown and any other relevant details. When the child's needs change or if other costs vary significantly i.e. the child moves from primary to secondary school or the exchange rate has a major shift, an updated fee structure will be sent to you for approval
