For $100 a year you can supply a child in Diria with school supplies, basic medical care, and support their school. You will receive a picture of your child and letter from him or her. You will also receive information on your child‘s family and your child’s goals for the school year.

All children available for sponsorship have completed a contract iwth Proyecto Laguna. They have set goals for the school year and have agreed to attend school regularly and to put forth their best effort. The parents have agreed to support their child in attending school and completing their schoolwork. The parents have also agreed to participate in the school; attend parent meetings, assisting the teacher as needed, etc.

All children who are sponsored will receive school supplies at the beginning of the school year in January; including uniforms, shoes and backpacks.  A supplemental supply of school supplies will be provided in July (pencils, notebooks etc.).  Sponsorship money will also be used to meet the child’s basic medical needs and to support their school.

If you would like to help a child in Diria succeed in school and life, sponsor a child now. If you are interested in sponsoring more than one child we can assist in finding a sibling group so you can sponsor children from one family.  If you would like to challenge your place of business, church, or other group to sponsor a large number of children please contact us and we can provide you with information on how to do this, contact@proyectolaguna.com
