The basic sponsorship for a year is of euro 180,00 plus a contribution of euro 10,00 to support Kid Aid, who wants obviously can contribute in superior measure respect the basic sponsorship.

The money for the sponsorship are bank wired directly in India, and therefore assigned by Geshe Lobsang Phelgye, (Tibetan Lama that collaborates with KidAid in India) directly to the child/monk and/or their parents/tutors.
