Sponsorship

Sponsor a Child in Liberia, India or Zambia

Child sponsorship is more than a picture on your fridge. It’s more than a warm sentiment or $25 dollars a month. Above and beyond the education, hope, and care that $25 a month provides – Sponsorship says to a child: “you matter.”

The kids we reach in India, Liberia and Zambia are growing up poor. Most have many siblings and one parent in a world of few jobs and little opportunity. When someone like you reaches across the whole world to say, “you matter to me” it gives those children hope for a brighter future.

We’ve seen firsthand the faces of children when they receive a letter from their sponsor. You’d think they were seeing fireworks and being hugged – both for the first time ever.

Ever since 1997, child sponsorships have been the lifeblood of our ministry. Friends like you, giving a child education, food, love, and hope. Child sponsors like you make it possible for us to impact more than a thousand kids every year.

Just $25 a month provides an education and needs such as meals, medical care, and a school uniform for  your sponsored child. Sponsored children have the chance to break free from poverty, illiteracy and hopelessness and work toward a better future for themselves, their families and their communities. 

Sponsor a child today! You’ll receive a sponsorship packet by mail, and the opportunity to correspond and exchange small gifts with your child.

Serve The Children Sponsorship Policy – What can I Send my Sponsored Child?

Thank you for becoming a Serve the Children sponsor for one of our children or staff members. You give the children hope because they know you are sponsoring them and ensuring they can attend school.  You give them a future because without your help, they would not be able to afford to go to school. Education will give them opportunities for good employment and prepare them to invest in others in their communities, helping their country go forward. Staff members are also encouraged by your sponsorship. You help pay their salaries and they are assured that someone in the United States is supporting them.

We want you to communicate with your sponsored child or staff member. There is not consistent mail service in the countries where we serve, but we can email your letters. Also, when a mission team goes to the country where you have a sponsored child, they can take a letter and a small gift to them.  

What should you send them?  

  1.  A letter and a photo.  This will be cherished by your sponsored child.  Write about your family, what you do, where you live. DO NOT include cash or any personal contact information, such as your email address, phone number or street address.  
  2.  A small gift that will fit in a 5 ½ by 8 inch envelope and does not weigh over 1 pound.  We are limiting what you can send because we have a lot of medical supplies, school supplies and team supplies to take in, so room and weight are at a premium.  Some gift ideas: a small New Testament, toothbrush, face towel, colored pencils or pens. These are items they cannot afford to purchase and that will be appreciated. Please make sure the envelope is well labeled.
