My husband and I just visited our sponsored child in Kenya. We were extremely impressed by the professionalism, enthusiasm, and dedication of the CFCA staff in making a difference in the lives of the children and aging who are beneficiaries. Children receive an edication and have their basic needs met for only $30 a month. After high school they may attend a university or a trade school, whichever is more appropriate. They become self-sustaining. During this time, a relative (usually a mother) is involved in a Mothers' Group providing support to each other and re-inforcing the importance of education. The mothers are also taught a marketable skill to increase their financial independence. This foundation provides hope to those who most need it and helps them plan to change their futures.
