The Child Sponsoring System

  • A donor will sponsor a specific child or children.
  • Children will be nominated for the program by WINS after an assessment of the need has been completed.
  • In accordance with the WINS policy, all sponsor donations will be used only for educational purposes such as:
    • School fees
    • Transport to school, uniforms, books, pencils, etc.
    • Use of library, internet, etc.
  • However, the sponsor may decide that an additional donation can be used for other purposes, for example:
    • Clothing
    • Savings Account.
    • Healthcare
    • Other
  • Together with the sponsor, a financial plan will be prepared for the child.
  • The sponsor to decide what amount to donate.
  • This financial plan will be evaluated annually at the end of each school year and adjusted as required. Fees do increase from time to time.
  • The sponsor will decide the frequency of their donation.
  • The sponsor has the right to stop the sponsorship at anytime without notice. WINS will then be responsible for the care of the child until a new sponsor is found.
  • If for any reason, the child does not finish their education, the remaining funds in the account will be used for other purposes. This will be determined by WINS .

 

The Financial Structure

  • The child will have their own local bank account. As soon as the child can read and write, they will do their own bookkeeping under the supervision of the Yayasan Director. In this way, the child will learn to deal with financial matters.
  • WINS will transfer the donation directly to the child's bank account.
  • The entire donation goes into the child's account .
  • All fees and other overhead costs are paid from the WINS general fund.

 

The Communication Structure

  • The children receive English lessons and Computer lessons at the shelter, so e-mail communication between sponsor and child becomes possible.
  • The child will get his/her own e-mail account.
  • The child's financial ledger will be send to the sponsor on a periodic basis.
