Make
an Impact

    Sponsorship Details

    Letter and Photo Exchanges

    Letter and photo exchanges occur twice per year. Sponsors receive letters from their students, along with updated photos, drawings and report cards twice a year, and sponsors in turn write reply letters and enclose updated photos of themselves twice a year.

     

    Your Donation

    100% of sponsorship donations go directly to the education of ANSWER students.

     

    3 Year Commitment

    3 year minimum commitment. We understand unexpected events happen in life, but to be fair to our students (and to remain cost effective) we ask for an initial 3 year commitment. Most sponsors are so pleased with our program that they continue until their student has launched her/his career.

     

    Sponsor Visits to Nepal

    We also encourage sponsors to visit Nepal to meet their sponsored students and our Nepal staff who oversee their education. Sponsor tours generally occur each spring and fall.

     

    Annual Fees

    Sponsorships range from $450 to $550 per year  for students in grades 5-12, technical schools, and university degree programs with a wide representation of career paths.  Your donation will cover all academic expenses, including tuition, uniforms, shoes, book bags, books and school supplies.
