How You Can Help

A Small Gift

A small gift can make a big impact: $35 a month sponsors a child living in Sekameng ADP, Lesotho. One time gifts of under $50 can help fund crucial programs and $22 will provide a backpack filled with pencils, notebooks, glue and more for a child in need either in Pierce County or Lesotho, Africa.

How sponsorship changes lives

By starting a relationship with a child in need, you can help remove the obstacles that poverty places in his or her path. HopeChild Sponsorship is focused on helping children affected by the AIDS crisis. For just $35 a month, you can help transform the life of a child in a country devastated by this pandemic. HopeChild sponsors are helping turn the tide of AIDS by providing children and communities with access to things like: Clean water, nutritious food, health care, education, HIV-prevention and life-skills training, spiritual nurturing, care for sick or dying parents, counseling.

You monthly gift is pooled with the gifts of other people who sponsor children in the same community that you do. This community focus allows us to work with families and communities in addition to individual children. This also means that we an address poverty's root causes and bring about long-term benefits and improvements in the community. It is important to note that each child has only one sponsor.

Every HopeChild sponsor receives:

  • A welcome kit with a photo of your sponsored child, and information about his or her family, community and country.
  • The opportunity to correspond by mail
  • Yearly progress reports with updated photos
  • Regular statements to receipt your giving and an annual progress report with an updated photo and how your support is helping your sponsored child.

In Partnership.

To maximize our resources, we have chosen to join with World Vision’s community partnership efforts in Lesotho. We witnessed first hand World Vision’s community-based approach to sustainable solutions and the impact of their work in Lesotho. Helping one child and one community at a time. According to World Vision's audited 2008 annual report, 87 percent of its total revenue goes directly to help children and families in need.

We Can Do This!

As more people get involved in the Global Neighbor Project, the more making a real difference becomes possible. We’re after nothing less than to mobilize a community-wide movement to help save Lesotho’s children. And there’s little time to lose.

Join Us!
