Because every child deserves the chance to learn, to grow and to hope.

We have personally struggled with the term ‘Sponsor a child’, we prefer to see it as nurturing a young mind, supporting the future of their village, encouraging pride, confidence, self- belief and investing in a child’s journey through their younger years.

At the heart of Hold a Hand is a simple but powerful belief: that the smallest act of giving can light the way to a brighter future.

For just £10 per month, UK sponsors and joining hands with the children of Kerr Layen, to help them rise, learn and thrive.

This is more than just a donation - it’s a promise.

It’s a promise that the children of Kerr Layen, aged 3 to 12, will have the opportunity to start their early learning education at Nursery School before moving to Primary School and to dream beyond the boundaries of poverty.

It’s a promise that their school will stand strong - with walls maintained, materials and stationery stocked and uniforms clean and ready.

It’s a promise of breakfasts that fill small bellies and lunches that fuel growing minds.

It’s a promise of fair wages for teachers, empowering them to give their best as the village’s goat project grows towards self-sustainability.

It’s a promise of faster access to medical care when illness threatens to interrupt a child’s journey to learning.

As a sponsor you will receive quarterly newsletters with updates from the school and village projects, and school reports showing the progress of your child. 

And here’s the best bit...you don’t choose them.. the kiddies will choose YOU!
