Hope For the Child

Our Children
Hope for the Child is now caring daily for 120 orphans and/or disadvantaged children. The children come to school at Arise N' Shine Academy each week day and then return 'home' to their caretakers in the slums. Often their caretakers are a single parent, aunt, uncle, or family acquaintance who struggles to survive and to properly feed, shelter, and monitor the child(ren). Often times the only food the child eats is what we are able to provide them while at school. It is our goal that each child has a sponsor to support them by covering their basic expenses for food, clothing, and medical care.

What Your Child Sponsorship Donation Provides
A donation of $360 per year or $30/month will provide the following for one child for an entire year:

Food- including maize, beans, and rice

Clothing- any uniforms, replacements, and every day clothing as needed

School Lessons- your contribution helps us to pay the teachers

Medical Expenses - basic wound care, check-ups as needed, medications needed including medicine for HIV infected children

How To Begin Sponsoring
Please contact us via email or phone. We will put you in touch with Philo, our Child Sponsorship coordinator who will be able to pair you up with a child in need. You can submit your donation through our Paypal secure link found on our Donation page or by mailing a check to:
