THE IMPACT OF CHILD SPONSORSHIP

In a world with so much need and suffering, you might wonder if you can you make a difference? You can! Sponsorship gives you the opportunity to bring hope into the life of a child. By sponsoring a child, you can help meet the critical needs of a hurting child, you can show them someone cares, and you communicate the value and potential God has given them. You can offer lasting hope and a brighter future for a child living in extreme poverty.

WHAT MAKES OUR SPONORSHIP UNIQUE?

Our sponsorship strategy is geared toward empowering and equipping families, the local church and the leadership of the community to meet the needs of their children. We focus on long-term solutions – strengthening the families and communities in which the children live. Your monthly pledge will help meet the critical needs of the child you sponsor as well as other children in the community.

Our local staff develops specific plans in each community that address the spiritual, educational, health and emotional needs of every child.

SPIRITUAL NEEDS:

Your support gives every child the opportunity to hear about and believe in Jesus. The gospel message is integrated into all of the child sponsorship activities in a culturally appropriate way.

EDUCATIONAL NEEDS:

We help families and schools reform and improve the methods for developing children’s minds and skills. In our "Children Under the Trees" Rwanda community, the shade and cover of trees has been a substitute for a classroom. Food for the Hungry is not only providing education to this community now, but is also building the classrooms to house the education.

HEALTH NEEDS:

Our staff works with the community to address chronic health problems and provide emergency care for the sick. Education about malnutrition, sanitation, first aid along with local health care representatives bring dramatic improvements to child sponsorship communities.

EMOTIONAL NEEDS:

Our staff also seeks to provide the love and support that God desires for the children. Food for the Hungry builds strong relationships with the children and their families through home visits and sponsorship activities. They demonstrate the love of Christ through counsel and friendship.
