Sponsors: The Genies of Mitrata
This year we have 11 young students who are moving from the Contact Center to private schools. These are unique children with their own stories, hopes, and dreams, but each has one need in common: a sponsor who will support their care and education as they grow and prepare to make their wishes come true.
A Fulfilling Request
“We currently have a higher than typical number of new children entering the program and needing support. If you have ever considered becoming a sponsor, now is a great time to learn more about sponsorship!” A message on sponsorship from Danny Williger, the Chair of Mitrata’s Sponsorship Committee.
Our 10th Graders Rocked the SEE Exam!!!!
Hearty congratulations to all of our Secondary Education Exam (SEE) graduates for their remarkable success! After graduating from 10th grade and passing the SEE exam, a child enters a specialized program that focuses on a desired area of study (i.e., business, science, agriculture, tourism, etc.). known as "college" in 11th and 12th grade. These children live in a boarding school or with a parent or guardian depending on their individual housing needs. We also provide healthcare and support services such as career counseling, tutoring, and internships.
Boarding School Meetups
Every year I visit with our children who are living in boarding schools. I meet with school principals and teachers. We have two main schools right now for our elementary school age kids who board, Reliance Residential and Childrens Model Secondary School (CMS).
