The Concept Stadium extends its support to Sponsor My Future
The whole team at the Concept Stadium, a boutique marketing consultancy firm in Malta, has extended their sponsorship of children’s education in Kenya for the third consecutive year via a local sponsorship programme – Sponsor My Future.
Sponsor My Future enables donors to directly help children living in the Ruiru slums in Kenya, ensuring continued support until they complete their education or leave the programme.
Through the sponsorship, the team at the Concept Stadium are able to watch from a distance the deprived children being given opportunities that would otherwise be almost impossible. The extra funds provided by the team go towards buying the school uniform and shoes, books and stationery, and a daily meal.
Jonathan Dalli and Jonathan Chetcuti, Directors of Concept Stadium expressed their pride for the team in committing themselves to the sponsorship and this great cause.
“It is very emotional for us as a team when we receive a letter from the children, thanking us for our support. These are real children with real lives, not numbers coming out of your bank account and we truly believe that not only can we help the children realise their dream of graduating one day, but we can also potentially help lift them and their family out of poverty. CS teaches each – and every one of us – a big lesson on compassion”, they said in a joint statement.
Laura Paris, President at Sponsor My Future, thanked the Concept Stadium for their continued support. “So many children wish and pray for a way to attend school, in order to be able to take care of themselves and their families in the future. Through sponsorships such as this, we are giving children the chance to be educated, no matter what age, race, disability or illness,” she concluded.
Families sacrifice meals in order to send just one of their children to primary school, something which we take for granted. Every child deserves a chance to be educated no matter what age, race, disability or illness.
Sponsor My Future allocates a child or children to each sponsor, which enables them to know exactly to whom the money is going, and invites them to communicate with each other via hand-written letters. The charity also provides updates on the child’s progress on a regular basis. It is believed that there more than eight million children around the world are sponsored by Western benefactors, usually in the form of regular donations to a particular child via a charity.
Throughout the year, the Concept Stadium also teams up with various local stakeholders by donating their time and expertise to help others in need. For more information, please visit conceptstadium.com
