Sponsor the Children at
CHILDHOPE-ZAMBIA
|
Children are available for sponsorship
at: www.childhopezambia.blogspot.com
.The
CHILDHOPE-ZAMBIAsponsorship program is bringing hope to many families.
Most of these families are quite large. If you look at the bios
of the children, they usually have a lot of brothers and sisters.
Even if they have a small family, it is highly likely that their
parents or caretaker are, also, caring for other children in the
home. How does this effect the children and their education? It
is extremely difficult for parents already living in extreme poverty
to pay the school fees, buy the uniforms, etc for so many children!
CHILDHOPE-ZAMBIA is now providing the children with HOPE
of a future! They will be able to stay in school, with the help
of sponsorship. I can tell you that the children are very aware
of what is in store for them. When the staff went out to take pictures
and get information, the response was overwhelming and receptive.
I am excited for them because I can picture the smile they will
have on their face when they get news that they have a sponsor!!
These children have never been sponsored before, so I am sure they
will be surprised by the letters of support and little things you
can stick inside the envelope for them such as stickers, bookmarks
(and we have several children whose favorite pastime is reading!),
etc.
Now, on with the details of how to sponsor a primary student:
- How much does it cost? $9 a month/
$27 per trimester/ $108 per year- You choose how often you want
to pay, it all comes out to $9 a month.
- What do the children receive from
the program? A LOT! Health support which includes anti ring worms,
malaria treatment, and several other treatments as needed
- School uniform
- School shoes
- School bag
- School Socks
- Exercise books
- Pencil, eraser, and ruler
- Toothbrush
- Toothpaste
- Soap
- Body towel
- Washing detergent
- Tissue
- Vaseline
- School fees
- and more!
- How is sponsorship paid? First, you
need to make sure the child you want to sponsor is still available
for sponsorship. To verify that the child you would like to sponsor
has not been taken, send an e-mail to macandmic@gmail.com.
Once it is verified that the child is still available, you will
mail your check or money order to :
Make a Change
P O Box 847
Anna, TX 75409
USA
Check and money orders should be made payable to Make a Change.
You may pay monthly, or pay several months in advance.
- Can I write to my child? Absolutely!
The letters can be sent directly to Zambia:

- How do I know if the child is in
primary school? The primary students are on the left hand side
of the blog listed as "boy" and "girl".
- Can the child have more than one
sponsor? That is up to you! If you would like to share the child
sponsorship with a friend, you would only pay $4.50 per month-
or between 3 people- only $3 a month (yearly breakdown when shared
between 2 sponsors is $54, and $36 per year when split between
3 people). However, we have to have all of the sponsors signed
up at the same time or else there will not be enough funds to
provide the child with all of the items and support mentioned
above.
One last note, you will see that every child has a number. When requesting
a child for sponsorship and sending letters, please include the child's
full name and child number. Thank you for helping these wonderful
children!"
