Sponsor A Child

Sponsor A Child ImageFor just £10 per month, you can sponsor one of the children or young adults at ROSHNI. We only organise sponsorship for those who come from the neediest families, so you can be assured that your support is going to someone who really needs it.

Child sponsorship may be used to pay for:
  • Education fees (mainstream or special)
  • Educational resources
  • Provision of physiotherapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy
  • Provision of therapeutic aids, such as splints, wheelchairs, toileting aids, or walking frames to allow the child to lead as independent a life as possible.
  • Medical assistance
  • Nutritional support
  • Support and training of parents and other carers
  • Assistance at home if family is having difficulty coping
  • Transport to and from ROSHNI, or mainstream school
PotterySponsorship can be paid in monthly instalments by standing order, or by an annual payment if preferred. If you would like to find out more, please contact us by clicking here.
