Sponsorship

 Umbrella relies almost entirely on the generosity of its friends from all around the world. As with any project in the developing world, the aim is always sustainable development. Child Sponsorship is the most effective way to raise sustainable funds. 

Umbrella spends €60 per month on each child. This money is spent on their housing, education, food, medical treatments, clothing, and extra tuition where needed.

Many children are still unsponsored and as a result the pressure to meet monthly bills is surmounting. By becoming a sponsor you are ensuring a brighter future for a very needy Nepali child.

In order to avoid jealousy or ill feelings amongst the children sponsors are described to children as their friends or in fact their big sisters or brothers from abroad. While the children don't put a monetary value to this relationship they cherish the letters they receive and the knowledge that someone in the world cares about them.

What can I Expect as a Sponsor

Sponsoring a child can be a very rewarding experience and we encourage our sponsors to keep in touch with their sponsor child and enjoy a cultural exchange.  Our sponsors are making a real difference in the lives of the children they choose to help. 

How do I become a sponsor?

While it costs SolHimal Umbrella €60 per month to care for a child we ask sponsors to send a minimum €33 per month in order to be the sponsor of a child. 

We ask that a standing order or direct debit be sent each month in order to help us project our monthly budgets and sustain the care and standards for each child.

Fill the our Sponsor Now form and an Umbrella cantact in your country will be in touch soon to tell you more about becoming a sponsor.

On becoming a sponsor you will receive information about your new sponsor child and the child will be informed of their new sponsor, thus starting the relationship of sponsor and child.
