Scholarship & Capital Expansion Fund
We, Shepherds Schools, are incredibly grateful to those who wish to support quality education for children in our area, and we welcome your involvement in expanding our educational facilities to serve even more students. The support can base on individual students through school fees, uniforms, food, and stationeries etc. But can also focus on school as whole by improving infrastructure for the betterment of Shepherds Schools Community.
We are committed to maintaining a socio-economically diverse student body that includes both paying students, as well as orphans and other low-income students who cannot afford to pay regular school fees.
We offer two ways to contribute to our scholarship & capital expansion fund. With each method, 100% of your donation, minus minimal bank processing fees we incur, will be directed to providing scholarships and/or expanding our facilities to serve even more students. The two ways are,

Student Sponsorships
Shepherds Schools does not employ the sponsorship model of providing direct tuition assistance from a single donor to a single child, because we believe this model too often results in unintended negative consequences.
For the reasons outlined in our student sponsorship policy, we request that your contributions not be demarcated for a particular student, but instead be invested in our scholarship & capital project fund. For clarity, by donating to support our capital expansion, you help us to direct our tuition income to add additional children to our student body who cannot afford our fees. Additionally, with expanded facilities, the incremental cost of adding additional children to our classrooms is minimized. In essence, by contributing to capital improvements, you enable us to direct a greater portion of our tuition income toward scholarships for new orphan and low-income students. Your donations provide precisely the same benefit as sponsorships to our school, but are not earmarked for a particular student, thereby avoiding the potential challenges of the sponsorship relationship.
Of course, we encourage you to interact freely with all of our students online and on campus. We simply prefer that you do not earmark funding for any particular student for the reasons outlined in our student sponsorship policy.
By contributing in this empowering way, you can help us to cultivate a strong, self-sufficient student body and community. Thank you so much for your contribution to Shepherds Schools!
