Other
Ways of Sponsoring children at CHILDHOPE-ZAMBIA
1. Financial support,
2. Material donations (gifts in kind),
3. Administrative and technical support (including volunteer help),
4. Spiritual support (e.g. prayers, fasting, etc.),

1. FINANCIAL SUPPORT (continued from previous page)
ii. Through Western Union:
By Western Union through: a) phone using a credit or debit card by calling a Western Union phone money transfer number posted online, telephone directory or elsewhere for your region, or b) online transfer using a credit or debit card, or c) by sending through your nearest Western Union agent or office.
i.a) Phone using a credit or debit card
Western Union’s website, http://www.westernunion.com or your regional telephone directory Yellow Pages have an official number for making phone transfers. For example, in the United States it is 1-800-CALL-CASH (1-800-225-5227) nationwide.
i.b) Online money transfer using a credit or debit card
This is through Western Union’s website, http://www.westernunion.com. They require users to create an account at their secure server. This is probably intended to protect users from unauthorized use of their bank cards. A confirmation email will be sent to you and in many cases they may require you to verify your transfer by calling them using your official number that is part of your Western Union account profile. This may change after a while of using your account, since your records become more verifiable in their system.
i. c) Through your nearest Western Union agent or office
Your financial support can also be sent through your nearest Western Union agent or office. A nearest location can be found online or in a local telephone book. An agent can be a store, salon, or any institution that is authorized by Western Union to provide their services.
In all three methods there is a transfer fee for each transaction, depending on the amount you are sending. Please use the our given address on the contact page for any other address details required.
A critical reminder is that please contact CHILDHOPE-ZAMBIA
after every money transfer you make. You can send an email
or call. Without informing CHILDHOPE-ZAMBIA, the funds will
not be issued. The following are the details the collection
office of Western Union will require from CHILDHOPE-ZAMBIA:
*Full sender’s name
*Amount and currency sent
*Test question used and answer to the test question (e.g. Name of a charity missionary? Answer: Mother Theresa)
*The assigned Money Transfer Control Number (MTCN) by Western Union -usually an optional requirement
Please email the above details or call CHILDHOPE-ZAMBIA after
making a transfer with Western Union. It may be worthwhile
to print this page.
iii. Wire transfer:
Another method of sending your support is thorough wire transfer.
Unfortunately a lot of online scams have painted a bad picture
about wire transfers. Otherwise wire transfers are convenient
since they involve your bank and CHILDHOPE-ZAMBIA’s bank making
a transaction. You can speak to your bank official about how
to make a wire transfer. Once you are familiar with this you
can contact CHILDHOPE-ZAMBIA to send you its account details.
iv. Coming in Person:
Whenever it’s convenient please visit CHILDHOPE-ZAMBIA and
see all the areas of need you’d like to meet for the children.
The CHILDHOPE-ZAMBIA , like many local children development
organisation is still struggling financially on critical day
to day needs. Long term needs of higher self sustenance for
the organization are slowly progressing. Many thanks to all
the associates who are making this possible. God has been
faithful in his care for the children through everyone that’s
a part of his mission at CHILDHOPE-ZAMBIA. May God bless you
all for your support and partnership in service to the children.
2.
MATERIAL DONATIONS (GIFTS IN KIND)

clothing, books, pencils, chalk, multimedia materials (e.g.
TV, computer related resources, stereo, video player, etc.),
car, bus and all other tangible, non-financial donations.

the contact page, or if possible, can be brought in person

3. ADMINISTRATIVE AND TECHNICAL SUPPORT (INCLUDING VOLUNTEER
HELP)
CHILDHOPE-ZAMBIA needs volunteers to help with day to day
operations and also long-term mission needs. Volunteer charitable
support implies that is unable to pay the valuable administrative
and technical support it receives from volunteers. The organization
is still financially incapable of compensating volunteers,
leave alone effectively supporting the children.
Short-term operations include helping in any of the administrative
or technical work that CHILDHOPE-ZAMBIA staff handle. Long-term
mission help include know how on the work of CHILDHOPE-ZAMBIA
. For instance, know how on childcare psychology, strategic
management of child development organizations, IT, system
administration of IT resources, website and internet related
administration, donor relations, fundraising (including ventures
in for profit areas like agriculture), and so on. For helping
in website and internet related administration please contact
CHILDHOPE-ZAMBIA’s WebPublisher
volunteer in this area, currently operating from the U.S.

CHILDHOPE-ZAMBIA staff can only be of use on the know how,
being natives of Zambia. The organization also has scant resources
to afford paying volunteers for their administrative support
at CHILDHOPE-ZAMBIA. Please ensure you have enough funds when
arranging to travel. You can consult CHILDHOPE-ZAMBIA staff,
tour agencies and others on estimated personal needs. We thank
you for choosing CHILDHOPE-ZAMBIA in your mission outreach
of charitable service.
Looking forward to seeing you or hearing from you.
Thank
you, on behalf of the children, for your support. A sacrifice
worth more than words can explain. Again, May God bless you
for your support and partnership in service to the children
at CHILDHOPE-ZAMBIA.
