Sponsors play a critical role in the lives of the children they support through The Child’s Journey. Beyond providing financial assistance to ensure the program and its activities run smoothly, sponsors also share God’s love with their sponsored child – offering hope and the promise of a brighter future.
In addition to their monthly contributions, many sponsors send monetary gifts throughout the year for occasions like a child’s birthday or Christmas. When a monetary gift is received, the child’s caseworker assesses the family’s needs and ensures the gift is used to meet those needs. This might mean buying extra food for the family, purchasing a bicycle to help the child get to school or supporting a family in starting a small business.
Regardless of how the money is used, these gifts significantly impact the lives of the families who receive them. Check out these photos of some recent monetary gift recipients!
