Sponsorships


 - OPAM
Sponsorships supported by OPAM are a means that allows a child or a young person in a Developing Country to receive an education without leaving their country.
A sponsorship can involve not only students, but also teachers, nurses and seminarians.
Those who undertake this initiative are asked to meet their commitment for a minimum number of years, individually or sharing it with a group of friends or colleagues, or with a class of school or a parish group; the annual contribution can be made by one only payment or by more then one instalment with a periodicity chosen by the donor. A small quota covers the management cost.
To address in the best way its activity, OPAM avails of "local persons in charge", constituted by missionaries, religious or lay people deserving trust because of their long term relationship and collaboration. 
You may choose one of the possible types of sponsorships; contact us for its activation.
