A “Three-cord” Approach to Help
We are Community-centered, Committed and child-focused.
Taken individually each cord is not unique. However, when taken together and with our mission statement, why we serve, how we serve and who we serve creates a distinct approach to our approaches.
We have pure love to people in need, and we demonstrate our love by extending care to others — irrespective of caste, creed, class or religion. This way of living is modeled and shared with the beneficiaries of our programs in age-appropriate, culturally relevant ways without coercion, manipulation or forced compliance. All the checkups for physical care, the safe environments for play and interaction, the regular mentoring and tutoring…
Child-focused
When a child is registered in our Child Sponsorship Program the beneficiary of the support is the specific sponsored child. Siblings, parents and other caregivers may receive additional or indirect benefits from our programs, but our focus is the one child.
Through our holistic child development model, we blend physical, social, economic and spiritual care together to help children in poverty fully mature in every facet of life and transcend what is often a generational legacy of poverty.
Communities often feel the positive impact of the “child-first” work our church partners do because what happens in the life of a child ripples throughout his environment, but we are unashamedly and singularly focused on children.
We are the world’s leading authority in holistic child development through sponsorship.
Child development means each child assisted by our church partners receives whole-life care that is personal, individualized, relational, and tailored to the child’s age, gender, health, culture and family situation. Our focus on children involves a commitment to long-term involvement in a child’s life. It is an investment in and for the life of the child.
Our Commitment to Sponsors and Donors
For a year we have worked to release children from poverty and have trusted the ability of our team and partners to create environments of unparalleled stability where children can experience God’s love and acceptance in tangible ways. We are, and have always been, Community-centered, Committed and child-focused. That is simply who we are. And we commit to remaining so.
We also commit to continue:
- Developing children individually and holistically: mind, body and spirit
- Prioritizing the safety and protection of the children in our programs
- Educating you about the complex issues of poverty and the effects of poverty on children
- The highest standards of financial integrity and accountability, including only using money for the purpose for which it was raised, regularly performing program audits to ensure our programs are well managed and funds are properly disbursed and applied, and balancing low administrative and fundraising costs with high-quality programs
- Linking each child to only one sponsor at a time
