Sponsor a Child
Every child is special - uniquely made by God

Poverty robs children and teenagers of the opportunity to achieve their God-given potential. For $56 a month ($14 a week) you can help provide a child with education, medical care and nutritious food - within a loving, Christ-focused environment.  Child sponsorship means something truly special to every child. It means new opportunities previously unimaginable, childhood dreams fulfilled, and a hope more powerful than poverty. 

Invest in a child by becoming a sponsor today.

What your sponsorship provides:

  • Everything your child needs to regularly go to school and further their education 

  • Nutritional support to treat or prevent malnutrition  

  • Regular health checks 

  • A child-friendly place to be known and loved, and to hear the Gospel 

  • A community of safe and intentional adults to mentor your child into their future

The Power of Child Sponsorship

Keewani Cook grew up in a poor village in the Philippines. Her parents did their best and worked hard to support their children. Still, Keewani would go to bed hungry some days and couldn't afford to go to school.

Today, Keewani works as a physical therapist. She sponsors four children with her husband and often travels internationally from their home in the USA to share her testimony. She believes she is living, breathing proof that child sponsorship works. “Jeremiah 29:11 is my favourite verse,” Keewani says, “because God had a plan—he has a purpose for my life.”
