CASP's Sponsorship Model

CASP, a sponsorship program is an aid given to underprivileged children while they continue to live with their family. The financial aid helps the family support the educational expenses of the child completely or partially. By making home visits, school visits and continuous follow-up, CASP team ensures that the help is provided to the needy child at the right time.

Sponsorship is a way to maximize the support you give for undertaking initiatives that are locally-led in the child’s community to secure their future and overall development.

CASP support families to access Government welfare programmes and schemes so that they become self-sufficient to secure their children’s futures. Sponsorship is not just a monetary transaction but an emotional bond.

CASP Aims to:

Increase sponsorships so that CASP can reach out to more children and serve their educational needs effectively.
Support a needy, economically backward child’s educational needs and preventing him/her from dropping out of school
