We take a look at how our charity, Parenta Trust, together with its supporters, changes the lives of
hundreds of children who attend Parenta Trust schools in deprived areas of the world.
In many third world countries, preschool
children are denied a basic
education. In the poorest of areas,
children are sent out to fetch water,
carry out domestic chores and look
after their siblings. Very often, this
means that they miss out on not only
going to pre-school but also receiving
additional education throughout their
childhood.
By providing training for your staff, you will:
Improve morale
Support children’s safety
Enhance your setting’s reputation
Reduce staff turnover
We help hundreds of childcare providers train their staff every year.
Investing in staff training and development is essential for not only
upskilling your workforce, but reducing recruitment costs, attracting top
talent and helping to prevent skills shortages.
It doesn’t sound much, but for as
little as 56p per day, a child’s life
can be changed and they can look
forward to a much brighter future.
“Sponsoring a Parenta Trust child
is so rewarding. To know that our
support gives hope to a child and
that we can change their lives for the
better, is incredible. You form a special
connection with your sponsored
child and are able to share in their
milestones as they grow. In fact, you’ll
soon find that your sponsored child
feels like a part of your own family!
Each year, we receive a couple of
letters from them as well as a card at
Christmas time.
“The children that we sponsor love
to hear from us! One of the most
rewarding things about sponsoring a
child is when that letter arrives and you
hear about what they’ve been up to
and how you have helped them. It fills
you with pride and happiness!”
The Parenta Trust sponsorship
programme gives disadvantaged preschool
children the chance to lay the
foundations for their learning in a safe
and loving environment. Having a basic
education means these young children
can break out of the cycle of poverty
and look forward to a much brighter
future.
Sponsorship plays a huge role in
shaping the lives of young pre-school
boys and girls across the world. With
the support of their sponsors, the
children are given a bright start to their
life and receive a pre-school education,
with its effects lasting a lifetime.
Each sponsored child benefits from a
pre-school education, a school uniform,
a daily hot meal, school supplies and
the knowledge that someone really
cares.

How sponsorship saved Bridget’s life...
We met Bridget on a trip to Uganda in 2014. Nothing could’ve prepared us
for her story but, sadly, her case is not a one-off. Bridget was rescued from a
shrine where she was about to be sacrificed by her parents. Saved at the last
moment from a shocking fate, she now attends one of our pre-schools where
she can lead a happy and safe life. She is cared for, has a sponsor and has the
education she needs to brighten her future. There are many more vulnerable
children like Bridget who need your help. By sponsoring a pre-school child, you
make a real difference to their lives.
