Several children of Starkid School and Rescue are sponsored by private families, mainly through the CIC. For example, Mariska continues funding, from Belgium, the post-secondary training of Shaga and Susan. In the high school, Malone (from USA) continues funding Jacqueline, and her brother, Michael, started to fund Dennis. In 2016 he was funding Brunton. Amar and family, of the Kenyan Asian community, started to sponsor Veronica, also in high school.
