You can sponsor your student from age 3 all the way through 13th grade with the Ewo sponsorship program. If you want, you can continue financial support during their time at University by working directly with the student. We are working on building out advanced education options (both for university and trade students), but currently this is not available through Ewo.

A donation of $40/monthly covers all costs associated with sponsoring a student. This includes providing the student with one uniform, materials for school, one hot meal daily, and access to the medical clinic.

Your sponsorship commitment is for one year. Your sponsorship will automatically renew every year, unless you ask to discontinue it.

Yes. When you sponsor a student through Ewo, that student is building a relationship with you.

Sponsorship provides the student with one uniform, materials for school, one hot meal daily, and access to the medical clinic. In addition, your sponsorship helps pay salaries for teachers and administrators, employ individuals to cook and clean for the school, as well as keep the school bus running with fuel.

When you sign up to sponsor a student, you will receive an information sheet (either in person or virtually) about your student. This sheet includes information such as your students birthday, grade, interests, what campus they attend, and details about their family. You are encouraged to write your student - this is another great way to learn more about them!

You can submit a letter to your student through our website at https://www.ewohaiti.org/letter.php

Letters, thoughts, prayers, and maybe even visits to Haiti show your student not only how much you care about them, but how much you believe in their future and their potential. Your support of a student also supports the school administrators, teachers, and staff who all share this journey with you!
