Child Sponsorship

At Refuge of Hope we believe that families should be together, that children should know they are loved and cared for by a mom and a dad and that every child deserves to receive healthy food, education, medical care and spiritual and emotional growth.   We don’t want to take the place of a family but to enhance and support the family.  To come alongside.  Sometimes it doesn’t work out like that.  In our community, it is very common for children to be raised by a single mom or even a single grandma.  Sometimes a single dad.  Wages here are low and poverty is a reality for many.  Addiction and domestic violence are commonplace.  Our task is to fill in some of the gaps and remove some of the barriers.  And we need your help! 

We are looking for recurring monthly sponsors for each of our children.  $30 a month will help us to employ teachers, purchase school supplies and curriculum and offer 2 hot meals per day.   We will need more than 1 sponsor per child but we are confident that there are many people like you who will look at the pictures of these sweet children and recognize the life changing impact your gift will have on families and communities.

When you sponsor a child, you will receive a quarterly update on the family situation and a photo.  You are free to send letters or pictures too – to become pen pals and friends.  You are welcome to visit.  If you decide you want to give additional gifts at any time throughout the year, that gift will go directly to the classroom that your child belongs to.  We discourage additional personal gifts, except on birthdays, in order that no one feels left out!

To set up your monthly sponsorship or to schedule a visit, please send an email to refugeofhopegiving@gmail.com.  You can choose which child you would like to sponsor.   There are a number of ways to set up your donation – See our How to Help page for information on donations and Income Tax Receipts.
