AN UPDATE ABOUT OUR SPONSORSHIP RATE

At Africa New Life, we take great joy in fulfilling our core promises to students and to sponsors like you. At the same time, we want to ensure we can sustain these promises for the ministry and for Rwandan communities in the long run.

As Pastor Fred shared in the video above, the last time Africa New Life adjusted our sponsorship rate was in 2011. Since then, the cost of education, food, uniforms, and student care in Rwanda has risen significantly. According to Rwanda’s Consumer Price Index, the country has experienced a cumulative cost-of-living increase of 165% since 2011. 

In 2025, we updated the rate for new sponsorships from $39 to $43 monthly to help ensure every student continues receiving the quality education, discipleship, and support they need to thrive.

We’re now inviting current sponsors like you to prayerfully consider increasing your monthly sponsorship amount from $39 to $43, beginning in June.

Your increased support will help us sustain the program you’ve already invested in—and the promises we’ve made together.

YOUR TWO OPTIONS

We invite you to choose one of the following:

• Increase your sponsorship support to $43 monthly starting in June, or
• Continue your sponsorship as-is. If you are unable to increase your monthly sponsorship support, we understand—and we will ensure your student continues to receive complete support and care.
