„ Today,we are sending over 3200 former child soldiers back to school. But unfortunately we have to refuse thousands of them, because our resources are limited. This really hurts. My heart goes out to all of them”, says founder Els De Temmerman

Send a former child soldier back to school! Sponsor the studies of a former childsoldier for one or three years and give them a new future.

From your sponsored child you will receive:

a picture
a file with a description of the family background and the abduction story
letters and school reports to stay informed about his/her school results

Give child soldiers like Geoffrey O. a new life and make them smile again.
