Help us change the world one child at a time.
Child sponsorship is the best investment you can make
YOU can make a difference in a child’s life by becoming an Amigo sponsor!
Maria (pictured above) has spent much of her childhood in hospitals and doctors’ offices due to a heart condition. She has never been allowed to run and play like a normal child due. Through Project M:25, she found a happy place that safely allows her to be a kid.
Maria’s Amigos child sponsor in the US has sent her gifts, cards, prayers, and even visited her in person. This relationship between Maria and her Amigo has brightened her life and helped her entire family to feel less alone in their struggles with poverty and her health condition.
Your sponsorship of a child enrolled in our program will help provide:
a chance to receive an education
a chance for improved health
a chance to develop self-confidence and social skills
a chance to learn about the hope of Jesus Christ
You will have a relationship with your sponsored child! Research has proven that children participating in a sponsorship program like this are far more likely to complete their education and become leaders in their communities. Having a sponsor relationship and knowing that someone cares enough to invest in them FOSTERS HOPE. You will build a relationship and make a difference in a child’s life through contributions, letters, gifts, and other interactions.
