Sponsor A Child
Helping Hands Charity Mityana Child Sponsorship Program
What is it about?
There are currently 32 children staying at our Home. They need food, clothing, educational supplies, and primary school fee. We had very kind people helping us since the beginning (2014), but sometimes the funds have been unstable such that there were days we did not have enough to feed the children.
In order to assure that they have consistent support, we started the child sponsorship program. In this program, a sponsor would either select or be matched with a child for a period of 12 months. The sponsor would commit to either paying for the monthly food (called "basic support") and/or school costs (called "education support") for the sponsorship period.

What are the types of support they need?
Basic Support: The monthly food costs is about 30USD for each child.
Education Support: The primary school education costs around 45USD per month, which include shoes, notebooks, pencils, textbooks, and school fees (100~150USD per term).
Partial Support: We also appreciate any monthly commitment from 5USD and above as "partial support" for each child.
The sponsors will receive updates and personal appreciation messages from the child each month.
How do we use the collected funds?
In general, the "basic support" and "partial support" funds will be used to feed all of the children at home while the "education support" will be used exclusively for the sponsored child. However, if we do not have enough food for the 32 children, feeding all of them will be the priority. In such case, the "education support" will be used for that purpose. This is why we encourage the sponsors to prioritize giving the "basic support" first.
Selection of a Child
You can either specify the child you want to sponsor, or can leave it to us to select a child. For "basic support" and "partial support", we will select randomly, and for "educational support", we will prioritize a child who is more willing to learn in school.
Monthly Updates and Messages
You can always send an encouraging message to the child you are sponsoring, to give them hope and love. We will send photos and videos of the child with updates to an email address or via SNS of your choice. We may be able to arrange a video call, if the network situation is good in the village.
