Our Response
-
Because school is not free, COME UNITY’s Child Sponsorship Program in Ethiopia begins in pre-kindergarten. Many families cannot afford the fees to send even their youngest children to school.
-
COME UNITY’s Child Sponsorship Program is committed to providing equal opportunity in education. COME UNITY gives girls in Kenya the opportunity to stay in school.
-
In 2016 COME UNITY launched a University Scholarship Program that provides young women graduating from the secondary school sponsorship program the opportunity to compete for a university scholarship and pursue a meaningful career and a higher quality of life.
