Welcome to the rising star outreach family!

We cannot thank you enough for choosing to become a sponsor to a Rising Star! While our matching process will allow you to grow a meaningful, two-way connection with one of our students, your sponsorship donations will go towards changing the lives of hundreds of children and teens from leprosy colonies and neighboring villages.

Without our education program, these kids would likely be begging on the street rather than learning in a classroom. Because of sponsors like you, we are able to provide these youth with a quality education that opens new windows of opportunity for their future.

The STARS program works to help each student succeed in the classroom and beyond. Scholarship funding and counseling help our graduates continue their education to find work that will provide for their needs and give them the ability to give back to their communities.

When you sponsor a Rising Star, you are investing in a child's future and, through a ripple effect, empowering entire leprosy-affected or poverty-ridden villages. Together, with your support and the support of our local staff, we are shattering the ancient stigma surrounding leprosy and breaking the cycle of intergenerational poverty one student at a time.

Please finish the sponsorship match process by emailing a short paragraph about yourself with an appropriate photo to [email protected]. We can't wait to send a reveal to both you and one of our lucky students!
