You Learn, They Learn
When you sign up to this program, we will donate 50 CHF to cover one year’s worth of elementary school education for one child living on the Siargao island in the Philippines. Once the program begins, the grass root Swiss NGO Siargao Masaya will send you by email the name and picture of the kid you are sponsoring. After the first year, you will decide if you want to continue sponsoring their education. When you learn, they learn too!
