Children in OIGOK's education program in Uganda, East Africa

Child Sponsorship · Uganda, East Africa

Be the reason a child gets to dream

Right now, a child in Uganda is sitting at home instead of school — not because she can't learn, but because her family can't find $55 a month. You can change that today. One sponsorship gives a child education, food, medical care, and the words every child longs to hear: you matter.

Our Mission

Education, health, and nutrition — so children can discover their God-given talents

Operation International Gift of Knowledge serves by providing children suffering from extreme poverty with educational, medical and nutritional access so they may enhance their quality of life and achieve self-reliance. By giving Uganda's children the skills of literacy, the change ripples outward — into stronger communities, economic security, and brighter futures.

What $55 a month covers

Education
School fees, uniforms, books, smart shoes and tutoring: everything a child needs to walk through the school gate and stay there.
Health care
Monthly medical exams and care, so a treatable illness never ends a child's education before it begins.
Nutrition
Meals that fuel growing minds and bodies, because a hungry child cannot learn.
Encouragement
Letters, prayer and a relationship that says "You are an important person."

Why sponsorship, and why one child at a time

More than a billion children live on less than $2 a day. In many of the schools our children would attend, a hundred or more students share a single free classroom.

A sponsorship takes one child out of that and keeps them in school, fed and seen by a doctor, for up to 13 years of schooling.

Development economists who compared common poverty programs on cost and impact rated child sponsorship highest among the long-term options.

Children Waiting For A Sponsor

Two children are waiting for a sponsor right now

Most of the children OIGOK serves are already sponsored. These two are still waiting — for $55 a month, you can be the one who steps in.
