Most of the children who attend Living Waters Education Centre are from very poor families that could not afford to pay school fees to cover the expenses of their education. Through our student sponsorship scheme we provide an opportunity for sponsors to help educate a student attending Living Waters.
What does your support enable?
With your monthly support of £20, your sponsored child will be able to go to school and receive a healthy porridge every morning at school.
In school the sponsored student has the opportunity to hear and learn about Jesus.
If you are from the UK you can get a tax-deductible receipt.
What you receive
- You have the opportunity to develop a personal relationship with your sponsored child.
- You will receive a photo and more information about your sponsored child.
- Twice a year you receive a newsletter with more information about our work.
- You have the possibility of writing letters to your sponsored child.
- The joy of knowing that you are changing the life of a child.

What others say
Chantal, (my wife) and myself had the privilege of travelling out to Living Waters in Tanzania to see first hand what was happening out there. We were so encouraged to see the enthusiasm and happiness of so many children who had taken advantage of the wonderful Christian education provided by Caroline and her team of dedicated teachers. Kevin and Chantal Durban-Jackson, Sponsor
I am an orphan and have been very blessed from receiving loving care at the Living Waters Children’s Home for many years in my young childhood. I received a vey good education at Living Waters Primary School and since graduation joined higher education at university and am presently in my second year.Bernard Kusaya. Graduate and Children’s Home resident
I have been so privileged to be able to participate in the development of this wonderful and fruit-bearing project. It has been a blessing to see so many individuals develop and grow over the years. Not only orphans and students, but also employees serving side by side with me. I have had the opportunity to meet so many generous donors that have contributed to this ministry.Carolyn Philpott, Living Waters Founder and International Director
I love Living Waters because Living Waters helps in religious teaching to fulfill our dreams. I wish to become a doctor or dentist. Living Waters Christian Secondary School has many teachers, good classrooms, laboratory and library. Our studies are good because we have been taught well. We thank Living Waters Ministries for sponsoring us. I am grateful for this school.Rwegasira Paternus Rwechungura, Student
I love Living Waters Ministries. I have been here for 9 years as a teacher. I have experienced a lot happening in my service. I became the Head teacher, I have gotten married and also have a child now. I’m presently attending The Open University of Tanzania for higher education and to continue developing teaching skills through the support of Living Waters Ministries.Goodluck Mitema, Head Teacher
These children are Africa’s future leaders and I believe much good fruit will come out of this amazing school. It’s a good investment both spiritually and materially.Kevin and Chantal Durban-Jackson, Sponsors
Frequently asked Questions
It costs between £ 20 / € 25 / $ 25 to sponsor a child. This tax-deductible monthly donation provides your sponsored child with access to education and a healthy porridge every morning at school. With an additional £ 10 per month you can provide a warm lunch.
We have a simple form which we ask donors to complete. If your a UK tax payer we can claim an additional 20% from your donation if a gift aid form is completed. We’ll then email you a link to complete our direct debit mandate and that’s it!
You can send us your letter with a small donation for the postage, if you like, and we will forward it for you. We strongly suggest flat letters only. Pens, pencils, mirrors, toilet rolls and other things are not very helpful. If you would like to buy a colouring book, then you may send us the money to purchase one in Tanzania.
Sponsored children do not receive direct cash benefits. Better yet, we pool your monthly donation with those from others for maximum effectiveness based on the needs of the children as well as supporting local staff works within the school. The staff are vital to us educating the children and providing a vibrant environment allowing students to thrive.
We hope your support will be long-lasting. When your sponsored child leaves or moves beyond the reach of Living Waters Ministries we will offer you the opportunity to be allocated to another student.
