About our Child Sponsorships
WHY SPONSOR A Child?
Education is a key to ending the child poverty. It literally changes a child's life. Literacy is linked to higher employment rates and lower levels of poverty, crime, incarceration, and more. By using education and incorporating the Gospel with consistent daily teaching of God’s Word, we believe children can escape poverty. Project Lucas believes that with the power of the gospel, along with a quality education and family involvement, children can be equipped with the tools they need to escape poverty.
The Margaret Dishong Scholarship Fund, through strong standards and requirements, uplifts students and families to rise above themselves and their circumstances and do things they could not do on their own. We instill strong Biblical principles along with strict requirements (see the list in red) that bring out the best in students and families. The Project Lucas staff works to uphold the scholarship standards and requirements on a daily basis When you sponsor a child, you have the opportunity to support them from Elementary through High School. You'll be personally connected to a boy or girl who will know your name and know that you care about and help make an impact in their life for years to come. Every child that is sponsored receives a scholarship though the Margaret Dishong Scholarship Fund.

Can I communicate with my sponsored child?
Yes, you can communicate with your sponsored child. Several times a year, your child will send you a letter or drawing depending on their age, along with a current photo. You are always welcome to write back by email, which we gladly share with your child. Based on our experience, mailed letters and packages do not reliably reach Kenya, so email is the best way to stay connected.
