Child Sponsorship
For more information or technical support, please call +1 (703) 923-9414.
A child can be known, loved, and launched.
Real community transformation begins by investing in children.
The encouragement of a sponsor affirms that each child has been created in the image of God, has been named, and has a story worthy of being heard!
Through a range of programs, your sponsorship contributes to tuition assistance, school uniforms and shoes, school supplies, food support, spiritual guidance, community and school development, teacher training, and more.
With your support, sponsored children are launched to be agents of love and hope in their communities around the world.
How is COVID-19 affecting my sponsored child?
Due to lock downs and school closures across the world, many sponsors have wondered what is happening in their sponsored child’s community. All of our partner schools are reopening between August – October 2020. Hand washing stations, soap, and prevention information have all been distributed and our team will continue to support communities in removing their unique barriers to a quality education.
Sponsor a Child
- Â Known – When a child receives their first letter from you, they believe someone cares about their story.
- Loved – Through sponsorship, God’s love pours out of you–right into that child–in the form of encouragement, prayers, and opportunity.
- Launched – With education, confidence, and hope for their future, you have launched a child on a journey to live to their fullest, God-given potential.
Special Needs Child
- A Caseworker – A highly qualified, compassionate caseworker is assigned to your sponsored child and his or her family. Hope for the future starts here!
- A Plan – A plan is created for each child including therapy needs, family and community training, and specialized equipment.
- A Future – With therapy, confidence, and a restored sense of value, you have launched this child on a journey to live to their fullest, God-given potential.
WHAT WE’RE DOING ABOUT IT
Country-specific strategies
To maximize the impact of your investment as a child sponsor, we adapt our solutions to poverty, suffering, and injustice to each country or region where we work—whether in Guatemala, Haiti, India, Indonesia, Liberia, Philippines, Sierra Leone, Sri Lanka, or Zambia.
Community partnerships
We address the holistic needs of children and their communities. Success is measured not only by whether the child is attending school, but our overall impact on the region’s food security, access to clean water, reduction in sickness, improvements in teacher training, and the availability of school supplies.
Personal relationships
We encourage sponsors to write their sponsored children regularly, whether it’s to share their interests, encourage their children to work hard in school or to share a scripture verse that ignites spiritual growth. And, that encouragement can make all the difference!
