Children Needing Sponsors
Thank you for your interest in child sponsorship. By sponsoring a child, you are joining in our mission to provide your child with 1) healthy meals, 2) educational resources, and 3) transportation to and from Bonsai each day. You are helping ensure that the teachers and staff that invest in your sponsored child daily can continue to do so while receiving a fair wage to provide for their own families. We are committed to maintaining a low student-to-teacher ratio (up to 12 children per teacher) so that each child receives the personal assistance that he or she needs. Sponsorships are available at the $40, $80, or $120 levels. Have questions about sponsorship? Click here.
