Sponsor a Child

What is child sponsorship?

Child sponsorship supports the physical, intellectual, and spiritual development of an orphaned or vulnerable child. It is a personal, life-changing relationship built on love, prayer, and encouragement.

Sponsorship provides:

A Christian education

Sponsorship provides for a child's school fees, supplies, and uniform, so that they can receive a free high-quality education in a school where they will learn to follow Christ.

Daily meals

Children may not receive adequate nourishment at home. Sponsorship provides a child with daily meals at school, boosting their physical development and mental acuity.

Medical care

Medical care is essential to keeping a child healthy. Sponsorship covers medical examinations, medications, and proper treatment of illness and injury.

Sponsored children in Uganda attend Haven of Hope's private Christian partner schools throughout nursery, primary, and secondary (high) school. Sponsored children in Zambia attend our private Christian partner school until they finish primary school (grade 7). Thereafter, they transfer to nearby government-run (public) schools, with sponsorship continuing to provide for their schooling, physical care, and discipleship until they graduate.

How it works:

1. Choose a child to sponsor below. Within a few days, we will mail you a letter containing your child's information and photo. It will also explain how to pay for your sponsorship. The cost of sponsorship is $42 per month. This will provide your child with an education, meals, and medical care, as well as birthday and Christmas gifts. Payment may be made monthly via automatic withdrawal from a bank account (on the 5th of the month or the first business day thereafter), or annually via a check for $504.

2. Pray for your child daily. Prayer makes all the difference. As you pray for your child, know that your child is also praying for you!

3. Write letters to your child. Relationship is at the heart of sponsorship! Your encouragement and expressions of love for your child will mean the world to them. We invite you to write a letter to your child anytime. Upon receiving it, your child will write back to you. Learn about letters.
