Our baking and salon students come from diverse backgrounds and have all faced difficulties in their lives. They are brave, strong, and resilient students who are in the midst of life transformation, and you can be a part of their journey.
Sponsorship donations cover the monthly costs of living, vocational supplies, and textbooks required for our students to participate in our Vocational Training Program. On top of providing safe housing and quality vocational education, we offer a monthly stipend to our students so that they can support themselves while they’re in the program and also save for their future. Altogether, it takes roughly $600 per month to support one student through the training program.

By sponsoring a baking or salon student, you are supporting them to encounter Christ, live in freedom, and have the capacity to change the world.
