The Sunday's Child's Program

One of the programs under the scholarship and grant program is Known as “The Sunday Child Program” How the Program works. Professor Atta, the foundations field worker goes to a village community and observe children who are home during school hours. He then approaches the parents of children observed not attending school. Professor Atta interviews the parents and informs them about the program. If the children are found eligible, he then sends the necessary information to Sister Ruth who then forwards the eligible children’s names and information to The Foundation. The Foundation through its fundraising efforts seeks donations for the eligible children. Once donations are received, the foundation forms a partnership with the children and their parents. The children with the support of parents or care givers agrees to stay in school and work very hard towards their education. It is a policy in Ghana that parents pay for the tables and chairs for school, as well as school dress attire. Once the foundation verifies that such items has been purchased, the foundation then contacts and registers the children in a school in their community, pays their school fees and school lunch for one year each so that there’s no break in the children schooling. The foundation also pays for a school bag, a children’s bible, school uniforms, new under wear, a pair of shoes or sandals to help the children start afresh. Professor Atta follows up with the child and family after one month, then leave them for a period of two months without any visits. Towards the end of the semester, he visits again to see how the child did with their schooling and examinations. At that point, a discussion is held and a decision is made how to continue to support the child to stay in school.
