Libraries of Love also has a sponsored student program. Most students who are currently sponsored were being sent home from school in elementary school as their parents didn’t have money for school fees. As our Director would go to check on libraries, she would see them leaving the school grounds. She would then take them back and pay their fees, later going home to meet their families.
Libraries of Love, thanks to sponsors, now has 22 college graduates. There are attorneys, nurses, business degrees, agricultural degrees, education degrees, etc.
At present, there are 53 students sponsored. Twenty of those are in college. Twenty-three are in Secondary school ( 8th-13th grades. ) Ten are in Primary School (4th-7th grades.)
Sponsors pay school fees and requirements. However, during the school term there are always other needs such as a sick child needing to go to the hospital, unexpected field trips, transportation for returning home, new shoes, fees for tests, on and on. These costs are paid through donations to Libraries of Love.
Following are posts about sponsored students from our Executive Director’s social media while in Kenya and Uganda.

May 23, 2026 – I appreciate John and Solome for taking good care of our sponsored kids in Kampala. They meet with sponsored students before school starts a new term. Each young person’s supplies are in a bag. They must check off each item they have received and then sign. Today we met, played games, sang, and had a good lunch.
May 27, 2026 – Two of our sponsored, Godfrey and Aaron, are studying nursing. They have college certificates, but have had to do two years practice before starting on diplomas in January. I enjoyed visiting them at the outpatient clinic of Mbale Hospital. I’m very grateful for their sponsors.
May 31, 2026 – 2011 and today! Meet Billy Eric Wauyo and Ugandatta JohnMary, Billy and JohnMary were two of our first sponsored. We enjoyed meeting and catching up over lunch. Time goes too fast!
