Children around the world need our help more than ever. With the rising costs of even some of the most basic necessities, our support is critical to ensuring children living in poverty can go to school and get an education. Make a contribution now, or scroll down to donate to one of our Special Funds.
We add new children to our program every day, and finding enough sponsors for all of them is one of our greatest challenges. The global need is so profound that some children wait months for a sponsor. Gifts made to our Shared Hope Fund provide immediate assistance to children awaiting sponsorship.
Contributions to our Hope In Action Fund go towards supporting children and families in emergency situations, like when natural disasters strike, in times of extreme hardship due to health challenges, and when families are unable to pay for food and basic necessities during a crisis.
Our Feeding Programs Fund provides food for children who would otherwise go hungry so that they can be alert at school and ready to learn. This important fund supports our affiliated sites around the world so they can offer healthy meals to children daily and food items for them to take home on the weekends.
Back to school is one of the toughest times for children in need. Not having new outfits or school supplies to start the school year off right can diminish their confidence and make it difficult for them to focus. Contributions to our Back to School Fund make it possible to give children a little extra for a better beginning, so that they feel good and are ready to learn.
Donations to our Clothing Fund allow us to purchase new clothes, shoes, socks, boots, coats, hats, and gloves for our sponsored children during emergency situations and due to harsh or unexpected weather conditions. Your support of this important fund ensures that children have proper clothes and shoes to wear so they can go attend school and stay healthy and comfortable throughout the year.
Our Higher Education Fund helps young people pursue their dreams of completing certificate programs or obtaining a degree from a university or college. Many of our Higher Education Fund beneficiaries have returned to their communities in positions as teachers, nurses, social workers, accountants, architects, counselors, and speech therapists.
Children living in poverty often go without mattresses, bedding and linens. Many do not have beds of their own and sleep on cold, hard floors. Your donations will help us to provide these children with comfortable places to sleep. Better sleep often results in better school performance.
