FAQs

What is a child scholarship?

Most families cannot afford the cost of sending their children to school in areas like Asella and its surrounding communities. As a result, the children who don’t attend school leads to them being uneducated and frustrated. These children end up illiterate, unskilled, and spend their time in the streets, getting into trouble.

Bridge for Life firmly believes that education is the way out for these kids and ultimately, the communities where they live. It is our goal to help change the cycle of poverty through educating as many children as we can. Bridge for Life does this by providing scholarships to send children to school. These scholarships cover the cost of at least one meal per day.

What if I can’t afford to fully scholarship a child?

Your contribution will go into a pool of funds and joined together with others to give scholarships to as many children as possible. Partial scholarships are a great tool to team up with your friends, families, or company co-workers where individuals can pitch in to amount to the full scholarship.

Will I get to know the child benefitting from my scholarship?

When you donate to a scholarship, Bridge for Life does not give your scholarship amount to a particular child, rather we combine your scholarship giving with the support of others so as many children as possible can receive aid. We will provide statistics on how many children are helped through our scholarship providers’ generous giving.
