How Sponsorship Works
​
Ascend offers high quality programming to all of our team members at no cost to them. Sponsors provide a vital source of support to pay for the training and education we deliver 6 days a week. Enrollment in Ascend's program can change the trajectory of a girl's life, at a time when she may be under pressure to marry or leave school.
​
When you choose to sponsor a girl, we will match you with one of our team members. We'll send you a welcome kit that introduces you to your sponsored team member, including a photo and bio. During the sponsorship year, you will receive a personal video message from your sponsored girl, and updates from Ascend on how your sponsorship is making an incredible difference.
​
Your monthly support is combined with the support of other sponsors, so that Ascend can ensure that all participants - regardless of whether they have a sponsor - receive the same life-changing benefits of sponsorship.
​
Sometimes circumstances change, and Ascend team members leave the program. In such cases, we open that slot to a new team member and your sponsorship is transferred to support her.
​
To protect participants, Ascend will act as an intermediary for all communications between sponsors and beneficaries.

"Before I joined Ascend, I never thought about my dreams or goals. I didn't know I could make my own way. I am a different person now, with a totally different plan for my life."
