Child Sponsorship – what does it mean?
Bottom line … it means, together we are making a difference!

It is a mechanism by which your donation of Rs.5000 per year to RDF is used to meet the costs of educating one child for one full year. The costs include teacher salaries, books, uniforms, mid-day meals and administrative costs. This is not a scholarship for the child. No part of this money goes to the child.

Child sponsors can opt to receive quarterly report cards and follow the child’s progress year by year. Letter/email communications can also be arranged with the children for such of those sponsors who so desire.

Sponsors may choose to donate annually or make a one time pro-rated donation. One time donations will be used to set up an annuity. Only the annual income derived from the annuity will be used. The annuity can be set up in the joint names of RDF and the donor (to be operated on a jointly or survivor basis), thus ensuring the donor that their one time donation will never be put to other use.

There is no limit to the number of children one can sponsor. There are many who have chosen to sponsor a single child and there are a few who sponsor a whole class of 25 children year after year. Sponsors of a whole class may name the class in memory of any loved one of their choice.
