For University students, the sponsorship programme is designed to cover the entire 3 to 6 year study period. In addition to its principal aim, Raha International also ensures the health and wellbeing of communities from which children are being sponsored by organising medical and relief camps and conducting training programs. Many of its activities are focused on HIV-positive individuals and those with disability or mobility issues.Raha is not affiliated to any faith and does not work from a religious perspective.
