By sponsoring a child, you are providing a life changing opportunity

By providing access to good quality education, you empower a child to change their future.

Bright Start was founded to enable these opportunities. We connect sponsors with deserving children and place them in schools that offer a quality education.

Bright Start recognizes that a child needs more than just sponsored school fees to succeed. Our support and mentorship programme help the child reach their full potential, and safeguards the donor’s investment.

Our holistic programme addresses the child’s needs beyond the classroom including social, cultural, physical and academic needs. We have a highly skilled, small and dedicated team which works with the schools, children and service providers to ensure these needs are met and the child is achieving their full potential.

How long is the sponsorship?

Once a child is placed in the ‘private’ school system, it is a commitment for the rest of their school journey. Therefore, we ask sponsors to view this as a long-term commitment, or a minimum of two years.

Sponsorships can be paid, monthly, quarterly or annually in advance.
