Sponsorship
(To sponsor a child please email a request via the Contact page.)
The purpose of individual sponsorships is to develop a relationship of care between a particular child and their sponsor. Deaf children are often not highly valued in their society and a number come from families who do not care much for them. It is very special for a child to know that there is someone - an individual, a couple, a family, or a group - who cares for them in practical ways, and prays for them.
Each sponsored child is told about their sponsor/s, staff talk with them about their sponsor, they often pray for their sponsor, and the sponsor is sent regular updates on “their child’s” progress and circumstances. It is hard to describe how much many of the sponsored children appreciate your care for them. When a photo of the sponsor/s is sent to “their child” it is treasured, as is a note sent to encourage or celebrate progress.

Sponsorship donations, however, are put together with other donations for the physical and/or educational welfare of all the children. The sponsorship money is used for education (books, uniforms, teacher-salaries etc) or in the hostels (food, clothing, accommodation, hostel-staff-salaries etc). However, money specifically sent for such as a particular child’s birthday or a pair of shoes, is used specifically for that one-off purpose.
How much?
Sponsorships are normally a set amount sent once a month. The amount varies from sponsor to sponsor, the minimum monthly donation is $20USD ($30NZD); more commonly $35 to $100USD ($50 or $100 or $150NZD) is donated once a month.
