SPONSOR A CHILD

From your heart to their hand.

Make a difference in a child’s life and help break the cycle of generational poverty. Sponsor a child in an under-resourced community, helping them to thrive, to have a better life than their parents, and to pass that opportunity on to their own children.

The cost to sponsor a child is $50 a month – read more about what that money provides here. This is an ongoing sponsorship that can follow a child through their school years, up until high school graduation. Our hope is that you’ll commit to sponsoring a child for a year and evaluate whether you want to continue after that. However, we know life can be unpredictable – you can stop your sponsorship at any time.

How to be a part of it:

  1. If you feel it on your heart to support a child, sign up here by Nov 15. You’ll be asked to provide a picture along with your information.
    • Need more time to decide? We will still accept sponsorship applications after the Nov 15 deadline! However, to be able to participate in the Heart to Hand experience, we would need your completed sponsorship application turned in before midnight November 15.
  2. Your picture will be printed and taken to Honduras. There, it’ll be displayed to potential sponsor kids, who will get to handpick the photo of who they want to sponsor them.
  3. The week of Dec 7, you’ll be sent a packet with information on the child who chose you!
  4. You’ll be able to start supporting that child, helping to break the cycle of generational poverty, in January.

How it works:

Each sponsored child will attend a local afterschool program that is committed to helping that child in five key areas.

Education

Education is the primary key to unlocking future opportunities for each child. They will have daily educational support, such as homework assistance to help them succeed in school, as well additional opportunities to learn English as a second language and computer skills, helping them to develop real world job skills as they get older.

Nutrition

Malnourished children do not develop fully physically and emotionally, and hungry children struggle to focus and learn. Each child will receive a nutritious meal daily, Monday through Friday, and children whose parents struggle to feed their families can receive additional assistance as needed.

Healthcare

Sick children cannot attend school, and sick parents pull their children from school to help earn money to feed their family. Each child will have access to basic healthcare, either through one of our partnering medical clinics attached to the afterschool program or through a partnership with a local healthcare provider who will be available as needed. The sponsored child and their family will have access to the care they need to keep the child healthy and the family cared for so the child can remain in school.

Job Skills

The more skills a child has upon graduating high school, the better earnings opportunity they have to build a better life for themselves and their future family. Rarely do people who have experienced success in their life return to behaviors that can lead back into generational poverty. Each child will have the opportunity to focus on their academics, improving their ability to go on to higher education such as a university or to learn about skilled trades such as carpentry, plumbing, masonry, or electrical training.

Spiritual Development

We believe every person has a next step to take in their life-changing adventure with Christ. Each child is given daily biblical principles in a devotion and is presented with the good news of Jesus Christ multiple times throughout their years in the program. Each child is given the opportunity to be a part of the local church that runs the afterschool program by participating in their youth ministry, small groups for their age, and other serving opportunities.

Help make a difference in a child’s life. Help them have the opportunity to choose a brighter future by giving from your heart, to their hand.
