Sponsor a child
Sponsor for a child in Tohoué and allow him or her to continue their education. Our sponsored children are among the most troubled of the village. Our local coordinator, Alexandre monitors the sponsored children, under the control of a steering committee comprising officials and local actors (director of the school, the village mayor, parents, members association, etc). Sponsorship covers the common costs such as, tuition, books, mandatory formal attire, t-shirts, special school trips and in some cases, food.
How to sponsor
The cost of sponsorship is: € 12.5 per month. The sponsor must commit to a minimum of 1 year, for a total of € 150. / year. The sponsored child will agree to send the sponsor a minimum of two letters in the year explaining how they are doing (most likely in French). At the end of the school year, a report is then submitted to the sponsor by Volodalen association to keep the sponsor informed of the status of the student.
Steps

2 – In the letter include € 150 (or more checks totaling € 150 we will charge according to your wishes) pay to the order of: Association Volodalen
3 – In the month following receipt of your mail, we will send you a letter with a receipt for the amount paid and the full name of the sponsored child.

Important
Sponsorships cover the costs of the school year, consequently sponsorships must be received by December 31st of the school year. Sponsorships received after this date will be used for the next academic year which starts in September.
100% of your money – 100% safety
100% of the money you pay is used for the benefit of the child, no part of that money goes to the Association or anyone else. If the amount paid exceeds the needs of the child, the balance is used to other disadvantaged children of the village.
