Organizations

Christian Foundation For Children and Age:  Their approach to sponsorship provides basic necessities like food, education, clothing and access to medical care – but then it goes much further. Our unique style of sponsorship is effective because we know "one size does not fit all." Project coordinators and staff members listen closely to our sponsored members and their families, then tailor benefits and services to meet their specific needs. In many projects, parents of sponsored children are given opportunities to participate in skills training or livelihood initiatives, so that they can begin to rely less on sponsorship and more on their own abilities to provide for their families. They also have an church outreach that helps with poverty as well.
