Donate to Pay Necessary Fees for Children in Poor Nigerian and African Communities
Education is the foundation for a better future. Yet, for many children in underserved communities, going to school remains a distant dream due to financial hardship. With just $450, you can fully sponsor a child’s education for an entire year — covering tuition, school supplies, uniforms, and basic support. You may also choose to contribute any amount towards a child’s education, helping to close the gap for those waiting for support.
Every donation, large or small, becomes a stepping stone in a child’s journey toward a brighter future.
Why Sponsoring a Child/Children in School Matters
Millions of children across Africa and other underserved regions are out of school—not because they lack intelligence or motivation, but because they lack access and financial support. Education empowers children with knowledge, skills, and confidence. It breaks cycles of poverty, reduces inequality, and equips future leaders to uplift their communities.
By sponsoring a child’s education, you are not just giving access to school—you are investing in dignity, hope, and long-term change. Your support helps build a generation that is more literate, self-reliant, and equipped to contribute meaningfully to society.
How Sponsoring a Child/Children in School Works
Your donation directly supports a child’s access to education. Here’s how you can get involved:
Sponsor a child fully: A donation of $450 covers one full year of education for a child. This includes tuition, basic school supplies, uniforms, and periodic academic check-ins.
Contribute partially: You may give any amount towards a child’s schooling. Once enough partial donations are received to cover the full cost, sponsorship begins.
Recurring donations: You can choose to make monthly or quarterly contributions, which we will allocate to one or more children in need.
Our team carefully identifies children from low-income families who have shown interest in schooling but lack the means to continue. Each donation is matched to a child based on urgency and need.
How We Prioritize the Use of Your Donations For Sponsoring a Child/Children in School
At PASDO, we are committed to making every donation count — especially for those who need help the most.
While our Sponsor a Child in School initiative is open to all children in poor communities, we give special priority to:
Communities affected by climate change, through our Climate Change Adaptation in Africa (CADA) initiative. Whether it’s drought, flooding or gully erosion, we direct support to those whose ability to provide for their children has been disrupted by climate-related crises.
Internally displaced persons and people affected by forced migration, as part of our Migration and Internally Displaced Persons Support Program. These families often face sudden lack that affects their ability to provide education for their children.
The most vulnerable groups, including children with physical disabilities — people who face disproportionate challenges in having access to basic education.
By prioritizing these groups, we ensure that your donation has the deepest impact.
Our Commitment to Integrity and Accountability
At PASDO, we are committed to the judicious use of every single donation we receive.
We hold ourselves to the highest standards of transparency, stewardship, and responsibility, as demonstrated in our Donation Terms and Conditions
Your trust is important to us — and we are honored to turn your generosity into real, lasting impact.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to sponsor a child in school?
It costs an average of $450 to sponsor a child’s education for one full year consisting of three academic terms.
What does the $450 cover exactly?
It covers tuition fees, school supplies, uniforms, daily transportation (in some instances) and general support for a full academic year.
Can I choose who receives the my donation?
While individual donor selection isn’t possible, we assign children based on urgency and need. However, we ensure that every sponsored child meets our selection criteria and genuinely requires support.
Can I donate a smaller amount instead of all the $450 sponsorship?
Yes. Any amount you contribute will go toward helping a child until their full sponsorship is met.
What if I want to make a monthly commitment instead of donating only once?
Absolutely. Recurring monthly donations are especially helpful in planning and sustaining long-term educational support.
Will I receive updates about the child I sponsored?
If you fully sponsor a child’s education, we strive to provide you with regular updates about the child’s academic progress and personal development. You may receive appreciation letters, photos, or even short videos from the child or their guardians. Our team ensures that your generous support leads to a transparent and rewarding sponsorship experience, while also protecting the child’s safety and dignity.
What schools do these children attend?
Sponsored children are enrolled in registered local public or affordable private schools near their communities.
How do you identify children for sponsorship?
We work with community leaders, schools, and local organizations to identify children in urgent need of educational assistance.
What happens if a sponsored child drops out or relocates?
We monitor all sponsorships closely. If a child drops out or is no longer eligible, we reallocate the funds to another child in need and inform you accordingly.
What countries do you accept donations from?
We accept donations from all countries, including the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and all countries in Africa, Europe, and Asia. If you’re unable to use the donation form to send in your donation, feel free to contact us to explain your situation and request for an alternative means.
