Causes: Christianity, Religion
Mission: Provide community, educational, relief and media services to those in need in underserved countries.
Programs: Sponsor a child: sponsors from around the usa and the world for $30 per month. These funds offer educational opportunities, health care and health-related instruction, nutrition, life-skills training, and opportunities to hear about and respond to the gospel by working with local churches. Our program offers the sponsorship of impoverished children in both indonesia and africa. In the sprawling urban areas of indonesia, most poverty-stricken children are forced to live in densely packed ghettos that are made up of ramshackle huts. The smog and soot from jakartas industrial centers constantly surround their homes. To make things worse, these ghettos are located near landfills and rivers blackened by years of waste and sewage. Most of these children lack access to clean water, proper nutrition and education. Our sponsor a child program directly impacts your sponsored child and the community he or she lives in. It ensures that the child will receive an education and that his or her medical and nutritional needs are met. Part of your donations will also go to a communal fund to sponsor programs such as tutoring, anti-mosquito operations, and funding our community transformation centers. During the year 2017 over 700 children were sponsored.
