1526childrensponsored

For many of our sponsored children in India, having a sponsor means they can have a nutritious meal every day, are surrounded by people who care for them, and have the chance to attend an English-medium school. Sponsorship programs have strengthened the capacity of Asian Aid supported schools and their teachers to provide quality education for children.

These sponsored children successfully completed their secondary school requirements, and with counselling support provided through their schools, determined their next steps through tertiary or vocational training pathways. A further 80 young adults graduated with tertiary-level qualifications primarily in the fields of nursing, engineering, biotechnology, education, and communications, with an additional 17 secondary school graduates receiving part or full scholarships to attend government colleges.

3CHILD-FOCUSED DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS IMPLEMENTED

Our partner child-focused school and community projects in India work to transform the wellbeing of children, at-risk youth, and their families. In the past year, our partner projects supported children to remain in school, to develop life skills through after-school tuition and sports programs and supported their caregivers (mothers and fathers) to access and remain engaged in meaningful employment, reducing their vulnerability to abuse and exploitation.
