AdoptASchool Association

CAN YOU HELP?

AdoptASchool Association has several programmes, one of which is the sister school relationship which our school is a member. In addition, AAS has a sponsorship programme whereby one person or one family sponsors a particular child through school. The children on the AAS sponsorship list are from very needy backgrounds and the family must meet strict criteria for a child to be accepted onto the programme. Families are assessed by our coordinators in Bali and an application is sent to AAS in Perth. These children all deserve the opportunity for an education but are often denied due to the financial situation of their family.

If you or your family would like to sponsor a child’s education, there are many children on the AAS waiting list who would benefit. The cost for a year for an elementary school child is $100 and when they graduate to High School it is approximately $200. If you visit Bali on holiday, there is an opportunity for you to meet the coordinator and sponsored child and their family and this can easily be arranged.

AAS, with the cooperation of the Education Department of Bali, has developed a financial circle of accountability whereby all sponsorship funds are paid via our coordinators directly to schools and not families. Receipts are issued, signed and stamped by the schools and returned to AAS Perth for confirmation of funds paid.

For more information please go to www.adoptaschool.org.au and click on the ‘Sponsorship’ tab. If you are interested in assisting a child gain an education there is an application form at the bottom of the information.
