Food for the Hungry s Child Sponsorship program is currently within 12 countries throughout Africa, Asia and Latin America. There are trained and dedicated staff within each sponsored country that work directly with the children, parents and leaders, equipping them to meet the spiritual, educational and physical needs of their community. You receive a photo and brief background of your sponsored child to help you begin building a relationship. You may even have the opportunity to personally visit your sponsored child. A sponsor or a family who sponsors a child has the opportunity to build a relationship with that child and their family for a lifetime.
Many children reap the benefits of child sponsorship long after the physical sponsorship has ended.
In Africa, some children have been waiting to be sponsored for up to 2 years. There is an ever-increasing amount of orphans because of war, AIDS, famine, droughts and diseases. It has become a war-torn continent with civil strife that has destroyed homes, lives and values. With a little help, together we can make a big difference.
