Children in OIGOK's education program in Uganda, East Africa

Child Sponsorship · Uganda, East Africa

Be the reason a child gets to dream

Right now, a child in Uganda is sitting at home instead of school — not because she can't learn, but because her family can't find $55 a month. You can change that today. One sponsorship gives a child education, food, medical care, and the words every child longs to hear: you matter.

Our Mission

Education, health, and nutrition — so children can discover their God-given talents

Operation International Gift of Knowledge serves by providing children suffering from extreme poverty with educational, medical and nutritional access so they may enhance their quality of life and achieve self-reliance. By giving Uganda's children the skills of literacy, the change ripples outward — into stronger communities, economic security, and brighter futures.

What Your Support Provides

One sponsorship. A whole child cared for.

Education

School fees, uniforms, books, smart shoes and tutoring — everything a child needs to walk through the school gate and stay there.

Health Care

Monthly medical exams and care, so a treatable illness never ends a child's education before it begins.

Nutrition

Nutritious meals that fuel growing minds and bodies — because a hungry child cannot learn.

Encouragement

Letters, prayer and a relationship that says, "You are an important person" — the dignity every child deserves.

Why It Works

Child sponsorship is the most cost-effective way to end poverty

When top development economists rated the most common poverty interventions for impact and cost-effectiveness per donated dollar, child sponsorship received the highest rating of all long-term programs.
