A regular monthly support donation of between US$33 and US$36 covers the direct costs of a student's education. A maximum of 10% of the monthly sponsorship amount is allocated to HtW administration costs, with the remaining 90% going entirely to the student's education costs.
Shalom opened as a Kindergarten-only school in 2007, and has been adding classroom capacity for additional grades each year since as part of a building program supported by HtW and other NGOs. For Shalom students these sponsorships cover teacher salaries, textbooks, daily hot lunches and other school costs.

More than 400 men, women and children in Ouagadougou were given basic
medical and dental screenings in summer 2009 by a visiting Heal the World
medical team. The screenings and follow-up treatments were administered
during a series of daylong onsite clinics that were run at two HtW-supported
schools and also at a church in Ouagadougou, the Burkina Faso capitol.
The original intent had been to offer screenings only and to focus primarily
on students at HtW schools. After arriving in Burkina Faso the scope of
the effort was increased due to demand and thanks to some unexpected cooperation
from some very helpful local medical facilities and a pharmaceutical supply.
Screenings were given to number of non-student residents who came to the clinics with complaints, and a wide range of medical and dental conditions were treated, said Heather Bobbs, a dentist who co-led the team with her physician husband, Brian Bobb, of Dripping Springs, Texas. Learn more. |
