STUDENT SPONSORSHIP

An opportunity to bring hope to a student! 
 
Giving Basics partners with Shine Malawi and local churches in Mzimba, Malawi, to give vulnerable students the opportunity to attend high school.  High School is not free in Malawi. We ask that the sponsor commit to sponsor their student for the entire 4 years.

We are committed to sharing the love of Christ in practical ways, in one of the worlds poorest countries. 100% of your support goes directly to your student's boarding school fees, groceries, transportation, school supplies, soaps, and basic medical needs throughout the school term. And this year your support also includes a small Christmas gift of groceries. 

For 2026/27 school year cost of student per term :  $320 per term (annual cost of $960)

1st term payment due: August 22

2nd term payment due: December 2

3rd term payment due: April 2

Giving Basics applies a bottom-up approach when serving in foreign countries. First, we listen to the needs and dreams presented by communities, villages and churches. Then we pray for God's wisdom.  Finally, we set up a plan that enables us to work as a team allowing the communities, villages and churches we come alongside to put in a large percentage of labor and expertise into the overall completion of projects.  Working hand in hand - Giving Basics feels this is the strongest way to implement lasting impact and change.
