Educational Child Sponsorship
Siam-Care believes that children, our most defenseless demographic, are often affected most for reasons in which they were uninvolved. Parents who suffered from HIV/AIDS often leave children orphaned, many of who carry the disease themselves. Grandparents, who should be receiving their own care, struggle to raise children of a completely different generation. And even if the parents are still living and healthy enough to care for their children, the financial, emotional, and social weight of HIV/AIDS is often too overwhelming. But it is more than just HIV/AIDS that affects these families; Migrant workers create single-parents homes, broken families, and extreme poverty. With the stress of illness and little to no income, children are pushed to earn money as soon as possible, abolishing any schooling opportunities. A child’s future is drastically limited without an education. Siam-Care knows the majority of relatives and guardian caretakers are themselves uneducated, so realizing its importance and overcoming the obstacles of apathy and opposition are critical. Siam-Care works to provide families with educational sponsorships to relieve the considerable financial burden of school.
A child sponsorship is a multi-level support system that includes:
• Ample financial support
• Reliable and extensive support, counsel, and guidance from Siam-Care’s staff
• Regular health examinations
• Schooling advice and assistance
• Individual assessment of circumstances or difficulties
• Family counsel to better relationships and increase caretaker understanding
• Opportunity to attend events and camps
• Full-time education
