Child
Sponsor Program - Haiti
Approximately
15% of Haitiıs children go to public school. It is a privilege to
the most affluent families or those who receive help from another
source. FOCASı Child Sponsor Program was designed to raise support
for individual children in the rural parts of Haiti to enable them
to attend school, receive food and obtain medical care. Individuals
volunteer to become a sponsor through FOCAS, and they are matched
with a needy child.
How
Do You Become a Sponsor?
FOCAS child sponsorship
is easy. Just email or call to let us know of your commitment. We
will send a CHILD SPONSORSHIP CARD for you to fill out and send back.
For as little
as $20-$25 a month, you can make a difference in a childıs life.
You can choose
to sponsor either a boy or a girl. Either way, when we receive your
CHILD SPONSORSHIP CARD, we'll send you personal information on your
child as soon as possible. All funds go directly to Haiti for the
purpose in which it was given - -to help the children.
Are
you ready to answer God's call to help the poor? Ready to help lead
a needy Haitian child into the joy of a personal relationship with
Jesus? Return your CHILD SPONSORSHIP CARD today! A child somewhere
in Haiti is longing to hear from you.
Why
Should You Care?
Primarily
because the word of God tells us in many ways to share what we have
with those who have not:
-
"Thou
shalt open thine hand wide unto thy brother, to thy poor, to thy
needy." (Deut. 15:11)
-
"Whoso
stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor, he also shall cry himself."
(Prov. 21:3)
-
"Inasmuch
as ye have done it unto one of the least of my brethren, ye have
done it unto me." (Matt. 25:40)
-
"He that giveth unto the poor shall not lack: But he that hideth
his eyes shall have many a curse." (Prov. 28:27)
By sharing God's
blessings with the children of Haiti, you can give a child a future,
a new life and hope. Putting your love into action can make a difference
for eternity in young lives.
What
Happens Next?
Your love goes
into action in several ways. Here's what sponsorship provides for
your child:
- The wonderful
feeling of being loved by a Christian friend that he or she has not
met, but who cares enough to be a sponsor.
- The opportunity
to attend school. Only 15% of the children in rural Haiti attend school,
and fewer than 25% of adult Haitians are literate.
- A uniform, books
and supplies for school and a hot meal each school day. Things that
many children can only dream about.
- Medical exam
and treatment by the FOCAS Medical Team Mobile Clinic.
The strong ministry
of FOCAS can grow even more effective only with the help of caring people
who will reach out to the children of Haiti.

of no ministry that gets more bang for the buck. FOCAS has tremendous

the poorest of the poor with the love of Christ." - Pastor Pat Murray,
