Our child sponsorship program in Brazil helps provide an education to children from poor homes who otherwise would simply not be able to attend school.

For $35 per month, you can help a child in need. Sponsorship covers a portion of a child’s school fees, daily lunch, a uniform, and school supplies.

As a sponsor, you will receive a picture of your child and are encouraged to pray for him/her. Updates are sent out each year along with an item written or drawn and colored by your child.

More About the School

Open

The main school, based at the mission in Brazil, offers preschool to Grade 12, a daycare, and vocational training. The mission also runs a school (Grades 1, 2, &3) in the remote community of Caçador. Because of the economical disparity in Brazil, the school has as its goal to offer quality education to students from all walks of life. Its curriculum, which was developed based on Bible principles and values, provides an effective vehicle for sharing The Good News with students and their families.
