why €60 keeps a child in school for a year

La Voie School building in Lomé, Togo

€60 doesn’t buy much in most places. at La Voie School in Lomé, Togo, it buys a full year of primary education for one child. here’s exactly where that money goes, because “sponsor a child” shouldn’t mean handing over money and hoping for the best.

one real school, not a vague fund

we partner directly with La Voie School in Lomé — one place, one team, one set of kids we actually know. no pooled “education fund” with no visibility into where it lands. when you sponsor a child through Wild Geese, you know exactly which school your money reaches.

what €60 (or €80) actually covers

  • €60/year keeps a child in primary school for a full year
  • €80/year covers a full year of secondary school

that includes:

  • tuition
  • school supplies
  • a safe classroom to chase big dreams in

new sponsors are always welcome — there’s no minimum commitment beyond a year, and no upsell waiting at the end of it.

why this, and why now

traditional aid can feel distant — a donation disappears into an organisation and you never really know what it did. we built this the other way around: one school, direct contact, and real updates. sponsors hear about their child’s progress and final-year results, not just a thank-you email.

we also never publish the names or photos of children who need sponsors. that list stays private, shared only directly with the people stepping in to help — because dignity isn’t optional, even in a fundraising ask.

the actual math

a coffee a week. that’s roughly what €60/year works out to. the difference is a coffee disappears in ten minutes, and a year of school stays with a kid for the rest of their life.

if you want to be part of that story, get in touch about sponsoring a child — we’ll reply privately with a list of children who need a sponsor to continue their education, usually within 48 hours.
