When you sponsor a child or a family, you help that child’s community become stronger, healthier, and more resourceful than before. Parents can provide for their children today and have reason to believe in the future. You will help create hope that will last for generations to come.<\/p>\n

Our community-based approach to ending poverty includes food, housing, education, employment, and human rights. The organization provides assistance to the most vulnerable children and families, without any form of social, ethnic, or religious discrimination.<\/p>\n

Local community members help us identify the most vulnerable children in their area.<\/p>\n

Prospective donors refer vulnerable families to us through their own contacts, acquaintances, or referrals (excluding families and legally dependents of the donor, such as spouses and children).<\/p>\n

Next, the families of these children are asked if they would like to participate in the child sponsorship program. They are told that all members of the community will benefit.<\/p>\n

Acceptance of beneficiary families or children will be based on economic criteria and household income, while respecting confidentiality and applicable laws.<\/p>\n

  3. The review of each request for assistance will determine its level of urgency.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Family Sponsorship<\/h2>\n

    This program is designed for large families and unemployed individuals. Family income must be below a certain threshold to be determined. A fixed monthly allowance will be regularly transferred to the family’s account. The amount of this allowance depends on several factors, including the number of dependents, total family income, and the family’s net worth.<\/p>\n

    The details will be implemented through local, non-profit private organizations with a good reputation. Volunteer experts will be consulted to conduct studies and develop action plans.<\/p>\n

    A transfer management procedure will be implemented to optimize administrative and transfer costs.<\/p>\n
