Learn More About Caring for Waiting Children

What This Gift Provides

A child waits an average of three months for a sponsor. But your gift provides immediate nutrition, medical care, education and hope to children as they wait. 

In addition to practical care, children also hear about Jesus and his love for them, giving them lasting hope despite their circumstances. 

Medical Care

Provides health checkups as well as additional medical care when children are sick or hurt.

Malnutrition Monitoring

Monitors children for malnutrition and provides nutritional support to ensure healthy development.

Education

Offers tutoring, assistance with school fees and more, giving children an opportunity to succeed.
