SPONSOR A CHILD'S EDUCATION
Sponsors are imperative to the success of Coprodeli schools. Though Coprodeli schools do not generate any funds, Coprodeli students must pay the bare minimum to keep the schools financially sound. Some children's families, despite their commitment, simply cannot afford to cover the most basic of costs.
