Meet Avila.
She and her older sister, Alicia, moved in with us at the Jimani Children’s
Home after their mom died. She began her education with us, at the age of 10,
learning how to read and write for the first time! Avila has a tender and sweet
spirit about her and is always helping out however she can as part of the
family.
And Bethsaida, she has the brightest smile of all
the kids in the Port-au-Prince Children’s Home. She is four years old and has
lived with us for a few years now, but is still sometimes slow to warm up to
new people. Once she does, however, she
loves to play!
These are just a couple of the children in the care
of the Chadasha Foundation who receive full-time care from our staff. We are happy to be able to provide healthy
and safe environments for these children, but with all of these little hands
and feet, we need a little help— that’s where you come in.
We are excited to say that we are able to accept
child sponsors for each of the children at our Haitian and Dominican
facilities! In sponsoring a child, you
partner with us in everything it takes to support our care of that child. Children that live in one of our two children’s
homes receive food, clothing, supervision in a loving environment, age
appropriate biblical teaching, school supplies, costs of both on-site and
off-site education, health care and medications. Everything it takes to raise and care for a
child, we provide to the kids under our care. We are the children’s primary care givers in
all respects, and child sponsorship allows us to continue to provide for these
children, and be able to take in others.
In Jimani, we also have the Day Program. These kids receive two meals a day, tutoring,
a safe and loving environment, and everything we provide for kids in our children’s
homes, only they go home at night. These
are at-risk kids who we are trying make sure they stay with their families. Our support allows single parents to work,
and keeps the kids safe, in school, and off the streets.
Our
goal is to continue to provide for the children in our care, and also reach out
to be able to care for more children in more communities. You can directly help these children by becoming
a sponsor! For a donation of $30 or $50
a month (depending on the program), you will help to provide these basic needs,
and keep these children in a safe, loving environment. In fact, your
sponsorship portfolio can include as many children as you would like to support
on a monthly basis.
If you are doing the math, you may wonder how we
can provide everything a child needs for only $30 a month? Well, we can’t. Our “Multiple Sponsor” system allows that each
child may have multiple sponsors up to a maximum monthly amount, depending on
program needs. For example, costs are
higher for the children who live in our Children’s Home than for the kids who
attend our Day Program; therefore, they have more sponsorship slots available
to help us meet their needs. This allows
more individuals and families to partner with us, becoming an integral part of
our support network and extended family.
All funds donated through child sponsorship go directly
to the care of the children who live with us, and those in the Day Program. We use Facebook groups to keep our sponsors in
touch and up-to-date on what’s going on in the lives of your children, so you
can see the good that your donations are doing!
We are so excited about the impact we are making
in the lives of these children, and hope that, with your help, we can make a
difference in the lives of many more kids in need— to present God’s perfect
plan to the children that are placed in our care, and teach them how special
they are in God’s eyes, no matter what their background is or how they were
brought into this world. We have been
very blessed in what we have been given, and teaching the love of Christ to so
many deprived children is such a blessing in growing the Kingdom of God.
