Often untold are the stories of orphans, now estimated at above fourteen-million. Working To Empower is assisting such orphans so that they can attend school. Currently 153 students are in the program and many are in need of a sponsor. Three countries are involved within this project and the sponsorship differs in each location:
- DR Congo – Forty-eight orphans aged six to eighteen are looking to enter either primary or secondary for $30 per year, including a uniform.
- Tanzania – Fifty refugee orphans are looking to attend secondary, primary being free, for a cost of $10 per year, uniforms provided by World Vision.
- Northern Uganda – Five orphans living in IDP camps would like to attend a secondary boarding school as there is no secondary school within their camp. The fee includes housing and food and is $240 per year.
