HOME-BASED PROGRAM
Your sponsorship helps more than just one child
When you sponsor a Home-based child you are also providing support to the other children in the family. They all share most of what the family receives through sponsorship support - from the food and household necessities bought with money from the sponsorship stipend, to the bedding, clothing, solar lights, and fertilizer for planting that we provide in-kind. Intangibly but perhaps most powerfully, the reduction of stress that families enjoy because of sponsorship support is shared by all.
In many ways, a Home-based sponsorship is a family sponsorship. And in some cases, when a sponsored child progresses to high school we will continue supporting the family by picking up a younger sibling for support.

As we look into the future, we hope to find ways to increase our support for entire families much further. But because there are so many needy cases in the areas we serve, and also because of large households and complex webs of extended family living them, it is generally beyond our reach to facilitate sponsorships for several children from the same family. Therefore when you sponsor a Home-based child, you are supporting a whole family but it is that one student who you will see growing up in photos and get to know by exchanging letters. This sponsorship funding model has been very successful for us and for the children and youth we serve. In fact, most of our sponsors end up continuing their support - in whole or in part - onward through high school and sometimes even college!
