When you begin your sponsorship of a child in our residential care, you will receive the following:

Profile
This introduces you to the child you are supporting so you can get to know a bit more about his or her background. You will then receive six-monthly updates, detailing social and academic progress.

Photograph
So you know exactly who you are sponsoring, we send you a recent photograph. Every six months you will receive a new photograph.

What You Can Do
Sponsor a child - Change a Nepali child's life for good.

You can help us to meet the cost of providing long-term residential support to over 130 Nepali children.

If you would like to play a direct role in helping just one of them to rebuild their life, please contact the London office (info@ebtrust.org.uk | 020 7600 5654).

 

  • £45 per month - Full Sponsorship would cover the full care plan for one named child.

  • £25 per month - General Sponsorship covers the daily care of a named child – food, accommodation, clothing, medical care and local support staff wages.
  • £15 per month - Education Sponsorship meets education costs – including school uniforms, exercise books and a contribution towards the school bus which takes each child to school. It also enables us to utilise personal tutors to work with children who need a little extra help in their studies.
  • £5 per month - Recreation Sponsorship broadens the range of stimulating activities on offer to the children. This could contribute to a camping expedition, a trip to the cinema or even pay for a dance tutor.

    • 100% of your monthly donation goes directly to the care of the child you are sponsoring in Nepal. Our administrative costs are met by unrestricted donations, and from tax we recover through Gift Aid.


College Sponsorship
Some of our older students are now preparing to embark on higher education, having passed their School Leavers' Certificate (SLC - roughly equivalent to the UK's GCSEs). This in itself demonstrates the remarkable progress they have made.

We are currently developing a College Sponsorship programme which will enable these students to pursue A-Levels or similar for a further two years beyond normal school.

The cost of finding suitable colleges in Kathmandu means that an additional £15 per month needs meeting in their education.


Please note that we do not permit direct correspondence between children and sponsors; this is to avoid some children feeling neglected if they receive no letters. Also, for the same reason, any presents that sponsors may wish to send to their child should be suitable for use by all of the refuge children. (It is worth remembering that toys and presents can be purchased by our staff locally in Nepal on your behalf, saving transportation costs while stimulating the local economy.)
