CHILD SPONSORSHIP
Empower a child & their community
To break free from poverty for good through Education.
Training a child at The Levites Academy costs us $230 dollars a term. We have 3 terms in a year.
Each term is 3 months. Help sponsor a child for $110 each month.
Help empower a child to create a brighter future for themselves, their families, their communities and the world. When you sponsor a child, you help break the cycle of poverty by providing access to education, health care and basic necessities.
Each child will be guaranteed to receive vocational training- besides general exposure, our students will be certified in one of the following vocations (Tailoring, Hair Dressing, Culinary skills, Welding, Motor Vehicle Repair, Computer Skills, and Agriculture), traditional education and spiritual formation.
Unfortunately due to the nature of the environment we work in, only about 10% of the families can afford this, leaving us with 90% of the students unable to pay any or full tuition. As you can see from our value addition and what we offer, our operation cost is higher than any traditional institution around because we not only pay traditional teachers but also provide vocational skills/resources and pay vocational tutors to make this a reality.

Our Process
Each year we have a single intake of Senior One students advancing from primary to secondary school. Our school day is divided into two parts. The first portion of the day is dedicated to discipleship and traditional education. After lunch, students move on to their vocational skills classes and do extracurricular activities later in the evening. (Sports)
We aim to prepare our learners to be versatile future leaders and disciples ready to tackle
the challenges in their communities head-on.
Expectations.
Unlike other sponsorship schemes out there, we directly allocate your finances toward the
students’ education needs, we will send you updates of how those students are doing and send you reminders
of how the students are doing.
However, to allow for students and families to have an invested skin in the game and attach more value to what is being offered, avoid dependence we will not put you in direct contact with the student being sponsored or necessarily tell them they are receiving sponsorship from outside. We will treat your finances as a scholarship fund that is utilized on need by need-by-need basis and merit.
On the other hand, we will encourage families and students alike to offer their labor and services to the school to try and match whatever scholarships they receive.
We believe this aligns with our school motto “Skilled Hands for Self Reliance” and our overall vision theme of Empowering Uganda to live abundantly in Christ.
What Tomorrow looks like/ will look like for Levites Students?
Students will graduate with three certificates ;
- National Education Certificate (High School)
- Vocational License Certificate ( Technical Certificate)
- Discipleship Certificate
When our students pay full tuition, we will save and give them 5% of their tuition back each term at the end of their time with us. This will be their first initial investment in the skill or trade they will have learned if choose to create their job. To ensure a holistic approach, we will allow the graduates to continue using the school resources as they get settled in their new life after high school.
As a sponsor, you will received three email communications in form of a newsletter at the begging of the term, mid term and end of the term to let you know of how the school is doing and any specific details about the students being sponsored. We will randomly select sponsored students to spotlight in the newsletter but feel free to ask us about the specific details of the student you sponsor.
