SPONSORING A CHILD WITH BRIDGES OF HOPE INTERNATIONAL

Bridges of Hope International looks at all the things that prevent children from surviving and thriving in their community – and then works with that community to bring all the pieces of the puzzle together to build a better life for all children.

Identifying specific problems, working together to solve them, and relying on God’s guiding hand makes the difference between a generation of children trapped in the poverty of their parents and grandparents…and a generation of children freed to experience a promising future. One where they can reach their God-given potential, and one day watch their own children do the same, and even their children’s children.

Sponsoring a child through Bridges of Hope International means that children, families, and communities have a sustainable, comprehensive plan for a bright future. Nourishing food and our before/after school program help children stay in school. Education lifts entire families out of poverty. Economic efforts create jobs and secure futures. The love of God brings hope and spiritual transformation.

How do I sponsor a child?

    1. Choose a child to sponsor whose story, interests, and circumstances resonate with you.
    2. Every month, your $25 sponsorship donation is pooled with other sponsors to fund programs that benefit your child and their community.
    3. Along the way, you can build a relationship with your sponsored child and your child’s community through letters, videos, time, prayer, updates, encouragement, and more.
    4. Sponsors who have the flexibility and resources can even arrange visits to see their child.

Why sponsor a child?

  • Meaning: Some of you sponsor a child to introduce your own children to global issues. Others sponsor a child to pass on your values to your grandchildren. They entered the world on the same day, just under different circumstances…but they will be forever tied together because of your decision to become a sponsor.
  • Effectiveness: Sponsoring a child through Bridges of Hope means helping your sponsored child, their family, and their community out of poverty for good with comprehensive, sustainable solutions to the root causes of poverty.
