Sponsorships are generally long-term planned and oriented to sustainability. The child should be given better perspectives in its surroundings by financial support. Normally a child is supported until its 18th birthday so that the first thing of all is to ensure an improved life situation as well as an assurance of basic requirements (health and education).
As a consequence the sponsorship rather represents a way of helping children help themselves. Children that read and write have much more possibilities to build themselves a better life than grownups and with it they will be able to offer a much better future to their own children. Education also improves harvesting as well as sustainable cultivation so as to ensure enough food. Children will have it much easier to receive appropriate education and a smoothed path to college studies. The sponsor therewith supports a process that will last for generations.
Another aim of the sponsorship is a personal connection. Donations aren’t anonymous anymore; a sponsor will exactly know where his/ her funds go to and what happens with them, this allows a completely new regard. The sponsor knows where his funds go to, really seeing what he moves. A whole new world is opened to the sponsors as well as the godchildren, representing enrichment for both sides.
