BECOME A SPONSOR

Make a difference by committing to sponsoring a local initiative aimed at benefiting children.

LONG-TERM SPONSORSHIP TO SUPPORT LOCAL INITIATIVES BENEFITTING CHILDREN

Asmae currently focuses on sponsorship by country, as this allows children to be looked after comprehensively, and better suits the principle of equality advocated by Sister Emmanuelle. Sponsoring our partner’s initiatives within a geographic area means providing them with all the necessary resources to look after the children’s specific needs better.

By becoming a sponsor, you can support projects that benefit children with disabilities, street children, and prevent children from dropping out of school. We do this in five countries: Egypt, Lebanon, Philippines, Burkina Faso and Madagascar.

Asmae is an organisation that conforms to the French Law of 1901, acting for public benefit, and is eligible to receive endowments, contributions and donations. Asmae is a Don en Confiance (Donate with Trust) verified organisation, which ensures the protection of donors and contributors. By giving to Asmae, you can be sure that the use of your donation will correspond to your intentions.

What does sponsorship mean on the ground?

  • Financial assistance which allows access to education as well as the protection of children coming from vulnerable families and care for children who are suffering.
  • A chance to raise family awareness on matters concerning education and child protection.
  • An opportunity to contribute to a long term project through continuous funding.
  • A means for the young people being helped to become involved in their communities by raising their awareness toward acts of solidarity and commitment.
  • Encouragement for children and youth to persevere in their education.

What does sponsorship mean on the ground?

  • An act of civic participation for those who want to make an active commitment towards vulnerable children.
  • A way to offer children the capacity of becoming self-reliant and dignified by encouraging them to thrive in their environment and to respect their culture.
  • A way to open oneself to the world and to discover other cultures and ways of life.

“For me, sponsorship means giving a child long term opportunities to grow up in favourable conditions, become fully self-reliant and improve their future.”

Laurence, teacher and Asmae sponsor since January 2009
