 Sponsor-A-Child (SAC): Our Legacy
What: We firmly believe that the eradication of poverty in our countries can be achieved through the education of our children. Education provides an opportunity for advancement, particularly for the girl child. To that regard, the primary objective of SAC is to provide basic education to children from each of ASIKE’s member countries.
How: We will work in partnership with in-country grassroots organizations or primary schools to sponsor the primary and/or secondary education.

ASIKE Health Day: Our Survival

How: We host an annual health day filled with information on staying healthy. This is a family fun day filled with healthy food, fun activities, exercise, and lots of health education.
