EDUCATIONAL SPONSORSHIP PROGRAMME

The Educational Sponsorship Programme provides financial support to academically bright children from low-income families who would otherwise be forced to drop out of school due to economic constraints. Academically inclined children - including physically challenged children - from families whose monthly income is no more than Rs.4000/- are eligible foe sponsorship under this programme. At present over 850 children receive sponsorship. The Sponsorship Programme includes the following benefits for the children enrolled in the programme:

Financial support to cover fees in the form of a monthly stipend
Guidance and Counseling (Subject / Career Counseling)
Health Check-ups
Sponsorship Day Celebrations which include an entertainment programme, sports events and other competitions, a special lunch and gifts for all the children
Annual Prize Distribution for meritorious children
An annual gift for all children
Annual distribution of stationery to all children
Special financial assistance to meritorious children seeking to pursue higher studies

The sponsorship stipends are disbursed three times a year and help cover the costs of school fees, conveyance, uniforms and stationery. Sponsorship Day is celebrated in November as part of DCCW’s Children Week celebrations and it is a fun-filled day for our sponsored children. The progress of the sponsored children is closely monitored and incentives, in the form of gifts and prizes, are given to those who fare well, academically. They are regularly counselled to encourage them perform better and their progress is monitored. The children keep in touch with their sponsors through DCCW by sending them letters and progress reports twice a year.

The Sponsorship Programme is targeted at the vast, urban poor. By supporting school education, the programme has succeeded in keeping children in the classrooms and off the streets, inspiring many to pursue higher studies.
