Please help us to provide for the needs of Potter’s Village by sponsoring a child.
Most of the children living at Potter's Village are there because their mothers died in childbirth, or their mothers are unable to care for them due to psychiatric illness. Some children have simply been abandoned.
Friends of Potter’s Village provide financial support for these children, and this continues once they are settled back into the community, usually with their family.
Most families are encouraged, and supported, to start an income generation scheme. This means that after a few years, most families can manage without support, and the sponsor will be allocated another child. Some children, though, will need support for much longer.
We couldn’t manage to support the numbers of children we do at Potter’s Village without our wonderful sponsors, but we invariably have more children than sponsors. Would you like to join them? You will be assigned a specific child, and will receive a photo and a news update twice a year.
Sponsorship provides for individual needs by contributing to the running costs.
Monthly:
- £90 pays for the baby’s one-to-one carer
- £36 will help pay for formula milk for one baby
- £27 for nappies
Total running costs to care for all our resident children and those we support in the community are in the region of £7,500 per month.
