Living Hope Haiti child Sponsorship

What benefits will the child I sponsor receive?
The child you sponsor will receive opportunities and services that most of the world's poorest children will never have. These opportunities include the following:

The opportunity to receive a top quality Christian education: this means providing the cost of school fees, clothing and supplies. Your sponsorship will allow one special child to stay in school longer and get the most out of his or her education.
The opportunity to be healthy: The health of the child you sponsor will be monitored and care will be provided as needed at one of the Living Hope Medical Clinics. Children are taught about hygiene and how to maintain personal health. In addition, each student receives a hot meal for lunch each school day. These meals have been shown to eliminate malnutrition, and are prepared for this purpose.
The opportunity to develop self-confidence and social skills: The child you support will be part of a church-based program where Christian adults offer love, guidance, personal attention, guided recreation and safety.
The opportunity to hear the gospel and learn about Jesus: Most importantly, your sponsorship provides the child you sponsor with regular Bible training and encouragement through a local church committed to Christ and the children in its community.

How long will my child sponsorship last?
Your Living Hope sponsorship offers you the opportunity to stay with a child for a number of years, usually through the school year in which the child reaches the age of 18. While we hope that you will be able to continue in your support of your sponsored child until he or she becomes 18, we recognize that sponsors' circumstances sometimes change. You can stop your sponsorship at any time.

Please understand that a sponsored child's circumstances may change, too. For example, sometimes families move beyond the reach of Living Hope’s program and children have to leave their sponsorship.

We will inform you as quickly as possible if any such circumstance affects the child you sponsor, and we'll offer you the opportunity to support another child in need of your help.

How important is prayer in your Living Hope sponsorship?
Prayer is a critical link between Living Hope sponsors and the children they help. Your sponsored child is in need and vulnerable.

Your prayers for the health, safety, education and spiritual development of your child are critical. Sponsored children are greatly encouraged when they hear that their sponsors are praying for them. Remember that the child you sponsor will likely pray for you, too.

May I send gifts to my child?
No. At this time, Living Hope discourages sponsors to not give additional monetary gifts to their sponsored children. If the sponsor would like to make an additional gift of support for the family of the child, they can contact Living Hope to determine if there are specifics needs that they can supply. The reason for the limitation on gifts to the child is due to the large number of children that have so little, and are not sponsored.
