THIS EVENT BENEFITS:
MAKING WHOLENESS POSSIBLE FOR CHILDREN AROUND THE WORLD
Children have the best chance at wholeness when they have their basic needs met and when they are part of a loving community. Children of Promise’s local leaders in 30 countries around the world identify children in their communities who would benefit from child sponsorship. This ensures the support provided to sponsored children makes the biggest possible impact in their lives.
Through our child sponsorship programs, we focus on meeting the needs of children and their families in four core areas:
NUTRITION - Families receive a monthly package of food, or children receive a hot meal each day at school.
EDUCATION - Children receive tuition, school supplies, and uniforms so they can attend school. In every country we are in, except one, children’s families must purchase a uniform and pay school fees.
HEALTHCARE - Children receive preventative and diagnostic care as well as medications, hygiene items and emergency treatment as needed.
DISCIPLESHIP - In the loving community of the local church, children are introduced to Jesus and the wholeness made possible by following Him.
This means they have hope. Hope for today, and hope for a new and great future of wholeness.
What’s unique about Children of Promise? We focus on equipping leaders in their own country to help their children. We have over 1,000 volunteers around the world. Our national leaders (with a few exceptions in larger programs) are unpaid. This also allows greater actual resources to reach children.
National leaders are dedicated to help their own children, accountable to our main office, and changing lives daily. We have almost 30 years of stories of children breaking the cycle of poverty and making a difference with their lives. Many are making a profound difference with their lives.
When you support Children of Promise, you’re not just making a donation, you’re joining a family of local leaders from churches around the world, staff, sponsors, and donors. Together we are all working to bring hope and wholeness to children in need. As we share the love of Jesus, we become more whole, too. You’re invited to become a part of the Children of Promise family. Join us as we all journey toward wholeness together
