Watoto - Hamsini

Hamsini

Many people who know our project would like to offer sustained help, but find it difficult to meet the conditions of a full sponsorship. We developed the "Hamsini" programme to enable people to support our children in Kenya with a good conscience and without obligation.

Only 50 Euros per year to provide sustained support for a child.

That is where the name of the programme was derived from - Hamsini means "fifty" in Kisuaheli. The donations of several sponsors are cumulated to help financing a full scholarship for a child at Mekaela Academies.

The exact amount which is required to pay for a full scholarship depends on several factors, i.e. the neediness of the family or the school-class of a pupil. The annual cost vary between 300 Euros for a day school in the primary section to 1000 Euros for secondary school boarding.

Although sponsors of Hamsini may not decide which child will receive a scholarship and to what extent, they still know which child is being supported with their contribution, and they may keep themselves informed about the child on the internet. For that purpose we provide a password protected area on our server where we keep historical information about the child such as photos, school reports, letters and all other meaningful and current information which might be of interest for the child's sponsors.

Hamsini offers the option of setting a fixed expiration date when the support will end automatically. You may of course join the Hamsini programme without fixing an expiration date in advance, and naturally your support may exceed the amount of 50 Euros, too. You may cancel your support at any time without providing a specific reason. Watoto e.V. will not be able to provide personal information directly or other customer services to the sponsors of the Hamsini programme.
