About the Organisation

SINA’s story goes back to 2006. Etienne Salborn finished high school in Germany, and instead of joining the back-then-obligatory military service, he volunteered for one year in the Kankobe Orphanage in Uganda.

One day, a girl in the orphanage asked him for help. She was afraid about her future because she was finishing primary education but did not know what would happen after. She wanted to continue schooling in a secondary school but had no one to support her despite good grades. Etienne realized that almost all the children were in the same position as her. Most children had no chance to continue their educations and were on their own at a young age.

Etienne started to convince family and friends to cover school fees for secondary education in boarding schools. An educational sponsorship program was born. Because it grew by about twelve new children being sponsored yearly, in 2009, Etienne founded Jangu e.V. as a non-profit organization to manage the sponsorship program professionally.
