Orphanos Foundation

Program: Child Sponsorship

Program Description:

You have the ability to sponsor a child in one of our three partner homes. Unlike other organizations, we have the capability for you to come to our office and have a video conference with the child whom you are sponsoring. You can also send letters to your child as well as birthday and Christmas gifts. You will also receive letters and updates on your child. We do not set the price for a child sponsorship, but instead we allow you to come up with a figure that is right for you and your family.

Program Long-Term Success:

We hope that each child affected by the child sponsorship program will have access to a higher level of education and responsibility than a child who is not at one of our homes. Our ultimate goal for these children is to become productive citizens of society.

Program Short-Term Success:

On a short-term basis, we want these children to know that there are people around the world applauding them, encouraging them, and loving them, even though they may have never met. These children feel special because someone, somewhere cares for them.

Program Success Monitored by:

There is no way to measure the success of this program. We don't have financial numbers or yearly goals to meet, but our prayer is that every child in these homes will have a sponsor. Our prayer is that ultimately these children will know God loves them because of the love they have been shown from people around the world.

Program Success Examples:

Raiza, a little girl in our partner home La Aljaba in Colombia, recently obtained a sponsor in the United States. Raiza's birthday was approaching, and her sponsor wanted to get her something special. A mission trip was heading to La Aljaba during Raiza's birthday, so one of the team members was able to personally deliver the gift to Raiza. It was a sweet moment caught on camera! It was great to be able to show the sponsor Raiza's excitement and it made more of a connection with their relationship. The sponsor also sent gifts for all the children at the home and was able to see them opening their gifts as well!
