Sas.org and Mass Trust aim to provide children a value chain of quality care services that ensures comprehensive childhood development. Our holistic development programs are aimed at transforming lives and making children self-reliant and contributing members of society. A sponsorship is a long-term, effective way of giving children hope, a happy childhood and a future. Through Sponsorship children gain Education, proper Healthcare, Livelihood skills and other resources & opportunities that help them grow as individuals, encourage their dreams and desires to become a better member of society.

This sponsorship program gives you important information about your sponsorship. How your contribution makes a difference. The contribution covers the living costs of the a child and we seek to reach as many vulnerable children as possible. To strengthen families at risk and make it possible for them to stay together is often the best way to help children. Therefore, our Family Strengthening Programme increasingly focus on helping families in the local community. The programmes provide support to gain skills and resources needed to become self-sufficient and give their children the care that all children deserve. While supporting our work, you help improve the living conditions of exposed children and their families in the local community. How your child sponsorship works.
