Price Increase - Frequently Asked Questions

Hearts & Hope recently sent out a letter and email detailing some of our planned upgrades to our sponsorship program. This includes a price increase for our students in Primary School. 

Read further for more details about why Hearts & Hope is making this valuable change. 

What is the new price?

The price for primary sponsorship for students in grades P1-P7 will be increased from $29/month to $35/month. The annual option of $420 is still available, but only if paying by check. 

How will this benefit my sponsored student?

For $6 more per month, your student(s) and their schools will receive:

• Enhanced mentorship and holistic support from our local team thanks to more caseworkers & counselors
  
• Improved quality of uniforms & supplies, such as shoes made of sturdy leather instead of canvas and cloth
  
• More nutritious meals for school lunch, including at least one special meal per week
  
• Improved access to preventative medical care
• Exam and graduation fees to ensure they have the opportunity to advance to the next level
  
• Expanded school & community celebrations
  
• Expanded opportunities to connect with you
  

When will this go into effect?

This change in price will take effect starting April 6th, 2020.

What if I have already paid for this school year?

If you have already paid, you will be billed the new price before your next billing cycle for the 2021 school year. 

Does this increase apply only for students in Primary School?

​For those of you that also sponsor students who are in our Advanced Program (Secondary, Vocational, or University), there is no pricing change for those students at this time. However, we are working with our staff, students, and our partnered communities to better understand opportunities to improve our Advanced Program. Stay tuned for an update on this topic later this year! 

What if my family and I are not able to afford the increase?

*We realize that some of our sponsors are already providing the maximum amount they can offer and we appreciate any support that is given! If you are unable to increase your giving at this time, please contact Sara via email (sara.owens@heartsandhope.org) or via phone (314) 582-0005 to maintain your sponsorship at the previous monthly amount.
