250 Euro a year cover half of all costs for the education of a child in the secondary school at Sotang comprising of the school fees, the housing, school material and the school uniform.
Friends of Chepel e.V. has started the scholarship program in 2014 and we are now supporting 11 school kids with 5 new kids to come this year.
This project allows it to families with very little income and/or many children to also provide secondary school to a child. We believe that coming up for half of the total yearly costs is a valuable support for a family, but still needs their contribution to the education of their child.
Among the 4 – 5 kids which enter the program every year there are always at least half girls, meaning at least 2 girls per year.
