These children want to thank you!

They want to thank you because you are the type of person that makes their meals and shelter possible.

By sponsoring a child, you give your love and support so that children like these aren't forced to try and make it on their own. We invite you to choose the perfect gift, the gift of life.

A Love Commitment

When people think about sponsorship, they know it is more than giving some of their hard-earned money - we give because we have love in our hearts for precious children.

You can sponsor a child for as little as $1 a day. Many sponsors give $30 - $60 a month. Some give more, others less, but we try to accommodate everyone's desire to help children.

The amount of support needed for each child varies, depending on the country, age of the child and level of education.

How Does My Sponsorship Help My Child?

The support needed for a child averages about $240 a month. Your donation provides all of the things that parents provide for their own children.

Over 360 individual meals are prepared and served each day at just one of our orphanages. Can you imagine a family food budget like that? We provide for their clothes, school supplies, books, tuition at a private Christian school (ICC operates on campus), housing, recreation, bedding and personal hygiene items, and the list goes on.

Sponsorship Pledge

When you sign up to be a sponsor, we do not view your pledge as a bill that must be paid. What you do is voluntary.

We send sponsors a quarterly report of their donations as a service to them. This is not a bill. We want to give our sponsors an accurate accounting of where their money went and help them achieve their sponsorship goal.

What it Means to Be a Sponsor

"It was at an event that Janet and I were able to meet the children we sponsored. As each one of the children came over to us we listened and learned about each of them. This experience was much more emotional than we had expected it to be. These children long for the day to know that someone cares enough to provide for and love them.

With tears in his eyes one of the older boys told us it is the dream of very boy and girl there to know they have a sponsor and meet them.

At the end of the evening Janet and I talked to each other about how we need to do a better job at writing to “our kids.” If you are sponsoring one child or more I encourage you to take a few minutes and write them. Tell them you care about them. Encourage them to do their best, and tell them you love them! Include your picture. They will cherish the picture. In so doing you are filling a big void in their lives. You will be playing a big part in mending their broken hearts.

If you are not a sponsor, become one. It will change your life."
