Please keep in mind that the age listed above is the ideal. However, this is not always the case with our sponsored children because, due to various circumstances, particularly poverty, many of them do not have the opportunity to attend school, and when they finally do, through sponsorship; they begin late when they are older, which has an impact on how they perform. As a result, many of them struggle to meet standards and are even required to retake a grade because of poor performance.
