Orphan Program

The sponsorship program pairs interested sponsors with orphans needing help. The child and the child’s caregiver (usually a widowed grandmother) receive the assistance detailed above. Sponsors receive a picture of their child and are encouraged to pray for him or her, as well as the home. Updates are sent out twice a year. Sponsorship cost is $40/month.

Information on how to proceed with sponsorship is detailed below.

Mozambique’s life expectancy, a mere 42 years, is in reportedly in decline. This is due, in part, to the impact of HIV AIDS. This epidemic has tremendous repercussions on communities and the country as a whole since the number of homeless children grows while the number of parents and care-givers declines.Most often, when children lose their parents, they are taken in by extended family to care for them. But for families already barely able to supply for their own needs, the demands of caring for more children compounds the challenge of survival. It is common for grandparents to take in their orphaned grandchildren, often several of them at a time. Generally, grandparents (often a widowed grandmother) will willingly take in orphans, but due to their age they are physically less able to provide for the added burden plus the challenge of parenting. They are left with children of any age, from breast fed infants to teenagers. Many times the children are too young to participate in field labor and the aging grandparents find it difficult, if not impossible, to provide for the growing family.
