Give a Gift to Your Sponsored Child's Family

When You Strengthen a Family, You Strengthen a Child

Every day, your sponsored child’s family is working hard toward a better future. But poverty brings constant pressure. A lost job, illness or rising food costs can set a family back.

When you send a family gift, you come alongside them in the challenges they face. Our local church partners assess each family’s needs and work with them to use your gift where it will make the greatest difference. You’ll help strengthen the family who loves, protects and cares for your sponsored child every day.

Giving a Family Gift Is Easy

Sending a gift to your sponsored child’s family only takes four steps:

1. Log in to your account.

2. Under Family Gift, select Add Gift.

3. Choose the amount you’d like to give.

4. Click Review and check out.

You’re done. Gift sent! Your generosity will bless your sponsored child and strengthen the family who cares for them every day.

In Kenya, heavy rain had washed away Alice’s home. With no money to rebuild, she and her brothers and sisters slept under a tarp stretched over the unfinished frame of their house.

“When you sleep, you have your legs outside, head in,” remembers Alice. “I used to pray for myself and for my family so that we could have a house.”

Then Alice’s sponsors from Illinois gave a family gift. Working with staff at Alice’s center, the gift helped her father finally finish rebuilding their home.

With a safe place to live, steady schooling and the care and encouragement of her sponsors, Alice could begin to dream about her future.

“I want to be the most educated physiologist in Kenya!” she says.
