Sponsoring a girl's education is one of the most important things you can do to help her achieve a better life. Here's what you need to know.
All BEADS operating expenses are raised through the generous donations of our sponsors and supporters. Your sponsorship pays for the girls' school/boarding fees, workshops on HIV/AIDS, women's rights, career counseling/mentoring and community service projects. School fees are paid directly to the school.

- The chance to make a lifelong connection. Many sponsors and girls have stayed in touch for years, even after graduation
