Sponsor a child

Give one child four years of certainty.

Sponsorship funds a child's full education — fees, books, and where needed, board — through a school Gail knows personally.

How it works

A personal process, not a catalogue

1

Gail interviews the family

Every child and family is personally interviewed by Gail on her visits to Ladakh, so support reaches those who need it most.

2

You're matched with a child

You'll be offered sponsorship of a child we've selected — we're unable to accommodate requests for a specific, un-interviewed child.

3

You stay connected

Exchange letters and small gifts. Sponsors often follow their child's progress for years — some watch them grow into young adults.

Where the money goes

Most sponsored children attend Lamdon School

Founded in 1973 in Leh, Lamdon School now teaches around 1,200 children, most from poor or remote families. About 400 students receive help with fees. Two hostels house children from villages so remote they can be cut off from the outside world for months at a time.
