The Unsponsored Children's fund is near and dear to our heart. Our founder decided early on that no sibling would be left out of our program. If we accepted one child into our program then all the children in family would be accepted in. Many organizations have a one child per family policy. While this improves the stats for the number of families impacted because more families can be reached, this approach creates issues as one sibling appears favored over the others. The chosen sibling gets to go to school while the other children do not have access to school. 

Also, if one child in a family receive a sponsor and their are 4 other siblings without sponsors, we do not tell the remaining siblings they have to wait for a sponsorships. Sometimes waiting can take years and those are years the child is not receiving an education nor participating in enrichment programs. They are literally just waiting. While this is certainly a huge blessing for the child and family as a whole, this approach can put a huge strain on our budget as we work to make the funds stretch to cover unsponsored children. 

Sponsorship funds cover school fees, materials materials, emergency family support needed which can include medical care, food security intervention, transportation, and other basic needs. IWSI program access is also included with sponsorship and supported with funding. Programs include camps during school breaks, enrichment classes, vocational training for youth, computer access and training, discipleship, field trips, mentoring, our Early Childhood Development Centers, access to our playgrounds and learning tools, and more. 

We invite you to help us provide these service for all of our children still waiting on their sponsor, and if you are able and willing, we invite to become a sponsor to one of these unsponsored children, so they are no longer waiting. When our US team visits, they are often asked, "When will I get a sponsor?" Help us responds with "Today".
