What is a CHILD SPONSOR?

A child sponsor is a person, church, group, business, or organization that contributes $30 a month or more to help provide an education for a child in Burkina Faso, West Africa.

What will be the relationship between you as a sponsor and your child?

You will receive a photo and a history of your child, as well as a packet explaining the sponsorship program. You have the opportunity to develop a personal relationship with your children through writing letters, sending cards and pictures, and giving to our child’s “treat fund” for birthday and holiday gifts and parties. Your child will write to you about three times a year, and you will receive an annual update on your child.

What does your monthly contribution provide?

Only 30% of the people of Burkina Faso, Africa, are able to read. Your contribution enables a child to go to school, to learn to read and write, and to learn about Jesus Christ.

From Judy Hull's trip to Burkina Faso in March, she writes:  "I interviewed children needing sponsors. Every child’s story touched some part of my heart. Let the Lord help you choose a child that you can pray for and provide money for their education."
