Child sponsorship is one of the most meaningful ways to make a lasting global impact without ever leaving your home. For $40 a month, you can sponsor a child in one of three villages – Peña Blanca and Las Sidras in Guatemala and Zimuddi in Uganda. Through participation in one of these sponsorship programs, children and families are impacted in a way that makes a positive difference for generations.
How does sponsorship work? Your gift of $40 a month does not go directly to a child but rather is on behalf of that child. Sponsors have an opportunity to develop a relationship with the child through prayer, the exchange of letters, and potentially visiting the child on a Global Impact trip to Guatemala or Uganda. The monthly donation serves a very specific purpose – funding a program that benefits the entire community by keeping children and teens in school. Studies show that educating children is one of the key factors in eliminating generational poverty, though many children in low-income communities are forced to quit school and begin work to support their families. Your sponsorship will provide a way for a child to remain in school, which is especially critical in the teen years.
Education is extremely important, though a relationship with Jesus is what will truly transform communities for generations. Your sponsorship can help make this happen in Uganda and Guatemala!
People who participate in child sponsorship are mutually encouraged by their sponsor child when they read about what God is doing in their lives. We encourage sponsors to engage with their sponsored children through prayers, sending letters or small gifts, and in-person visits on one of our global impact trips!
