Sponsorship
Make a monthly, tax-deductible donation to help specific families in Korah.
GIVE so that another might LIVE! Our sponsorship program provides for a child’s basic needs to be met such as food, shelter, and education. You will feel a connection with your sponsored child through letters and pictures. It will bless your life and soften your heart, and most importantly change the world for a child in need.
Our sponsorship program entails:
Sponsored kids have food distributed each month to them from our on ground partner ministry in Korah. Nutrition is vital to a child’s growth and development and sponsorship ensures that they do not have to go hungry.
We believe that education is the answer to a better future of the children of Korah. Sponsorship allows kids the opportunity to attend school instead of spending their days begging for food on the streets or searching through the trash dump.
Sponsorship helps the community of Korah by empowering kids! It gives them hope for a better future and therefore brings hope to the entire community.
Sponsorship changes lives! We believe that sponsorship not only changes the life of a child in need, but it will change the sponsors life too. Winston Churchill said it best, “we make a living by what we get,we make a life by what we GIVE.”
