The vast majority of our sponsors have on-going, personal relationships with their child as they have the opportunity to join any of our 24 Teams per year. Sponsors stay on our compound and are able to build trusting and lasting, personal relationships with their child over a week’s period time, while also giving back to the community. Attending church with your sponsored child, playing soccer, or just spending quality time together are just a few of the options you have when in Kenya. You are not required to visit, it’s just an awesome option to have.

As a child sponsor, you are connected with one specific child. However, sponsored children do not receive cash benefits. Your monthly donation is pooled for maximum effectiveness – meaning sponsored children do not receive funds directly. You join forces with other sponsors to fund each child’s growth and development within the orphanage. You can also send care packages and gifts to your specific sponsored child.

Your sponsorship is an ongoing commitment that directly helps your child. It allows you to witness the progress firsthand, as long as you’re able.

Oh yes. They are very real. Real children with real stories. Get to know your sponsored child with letters and emails, photos, videos, progress reports, and more. You can visit your sponsored child and see firsthand how your donation is helping transform their life.
