We have seen time and time again the power of multiple positive mentors in the life of a child, and that is why Canopy Life goes beyond a simple one-to-one sponsorship program. Each student has five sponsors which create a “Sponsor Team.” This means you’re never alone and unified with others to change lives

Our students are children with leadership potential who otherwise might not get the opportunity to thrive. Our ideal child is from a rural village, has at least one living parent, and is doing well in school but unable to realize his or her true leadership and entrepreneurial capacity within the traditional school format.

Currently our students are from the rural communities of Kwambekenya, Karagoto, Ngaamba, and Koma Hill.

Ideally a sponsor would stay on through the duration of the child’s education so there are consistent voices encouraging and mentoring the student. However, we realize that situations change. If at any time you need to pause or cancel your sponsorship, simply contact our office at sponsorship@canopylife.org.

The children attend our school eight months out of the year (starting in January). They have breaks in April, August, and November/December, at which time they travel home to be with their families.

We invite letters and emails year-round, and we always welcome book donations for our library. However, we discourage individual gifts outside of our annual Sponsor Box (which happens in the Fall). You are also welcome in year-end giving to contribute specifically to your student’s uniform or school needs.
