When you sponsor a child, a local church near their home makes sure they get to school, see a doctor and eat well. You write to each other, and you pray for each other.

Why it worksIndex 01

Children do better when an adult knows their name.

Sponsored children have a mentor at their church who sees them every week, and a sponsor somewhere else who writes to them and prays for them. Knowing that God loves you, and that someone is cheering for you, makes school easier to stick with.

Where your gift goesIndex 04

What $45 a month pays for.

Every sponsored child gets the same four things from a church near their home. We start with school, but we never stop at school: the mentor’s job is to know the child, pray with them and show them what Jesus is like.

01

Education

School fees, books and an after-school tutor.

Nutrition

A hot lunch on school days, and height and weight checks every term.

03

Health care

Check-ups, vaccines and medicine when a child gets sick.

04

Faith

A mentor at the church, and someone who prays for them by name.

Current appealsIndex 05

Things we’re raising money for right now.

Sponsorship covers each child’s basics. Appeals pay for the bigger things a church partner asks us for, and every appeal closes when it’s funded. Pray for the pastors who asked.
