Our sponsorship dollars cover food, shelter, family social worker, and uniform for a child to focus on school. We partner with 70 different schools that focus on a Christ-centered quality education. We have seen children come from the streets or orphaned homes and are now are attending university. Our sponsorship still continues to focus on personal sponsorships that provide letters and photos of the children getting sent back to families in the USA.
