Become a sponsor

Our sponsorship model

Through the scholarship program Bongai Shamwari facilitates preschool care and education particularly for orphans, children with disabilities and otherwise disadvantaged children. In this way the kids experience an equal footing at their starting point of future development.

Some people perceive the amount of 40-50 Euro per month as a lot. In contrast to all other kindergartens we pay minimum wage – including during holidays. This means our employees receive a sustainable income which can cover their costs – a goal which we carefully consider in this project.In addition our employees get health insurance, also a special bonus. Officially basic care should be free but reality looks differently. Heath insurance is an important key to proper medical care. Most Zimbabweans are not paid in accordance with national law, if a regular income is available at all. At the moment only about 10-20% of the people are officially employed, everyone else is without a job. This is how people are forced into corruption and eventually have to flee their country.
