As we embrace the season of giving, there is no gift more meaningful than the opportunity to change a life through education. This Christmas, the Blackrock College Mission Fund is once again appealing for sponsors to support children in need at Spiritan schools in Kenya.
Every year, the Mission Fund receives over 150 applications from children seeking sponsorship to continue their education. Sadly, resources only allow for half of these to be supported. This is where you can make an incredible difference.
Sponsorship costs €700 per year for secondary school students and €450 for students at the technical school. These contributions provide not just education, but also the hope and tools for a brighter future.
By becoming a sponsor, you are directly impacting a child who would otherwise be unable to pursue their education. Your generosity will help shape their future and create opportunities that were previously beyond reach.
Can you make this life-changing commitment?
For more information or to sponsor a child, please contact Aidan Corless at missionfund@rock.ie.
This Christmas, give the gift of education and invest in a future filled with possibility.
