Sponsorship
Sponsoring a vulnerable child is a great way to directly impact a life! By sponsoring a child, you can help ensure that they stay in school, get medical help when needed, learn valuable life skills, receive encouragement, and hear the gospel! You are able to directly communicate with your child via letters, send them gifts, and even visit them personally if you ever travel to Africa. Your financial gift is used to develop programming and provide appropriate assistance which will strengthen families and communities, meeting physical, educational, and spiritual needs. There is no better, more personal way for you to connect with and support the needs of a child in Africa!
ECM offers three sponsorship opportunities:
1. In our Educational and Disabilities Sponsorship Program, we help the neediest children, most often children who have been orphaned and/or are suffering from physical disabilities, to get the help they need for a brighter future. These children can come into the program at any age, but typically join a Hope Center before the age of 10. Children complete the sponsorship program after the completion of secondary school (high school) or when they reach the age of 20, whichever comes first. We ask our sponsors to commit to sponsorship until the child completes the general sponsorship program.
To choose a child for educational and disabilities sponsorship, view our online list or contact our office for more information.
2. Our Family Empowerment Sponsorship program encourages you develop relationships with parents as well as children, and through your support and encouragement you will be able to impact their lives for many years to come. Our dedicated staff work closely with parents to help them develop and implement skills that will allow them to be self-sufficient and provide for the physical, educational, and spiritual needs of their children.

Parents and caregivers want to succeed and meet the physical, educational and spiritual needs of their children. By partnering with a family, you can help them accomplish their goals!
Family Empowerment Sponsorship will be available soon! Contact our office if you have any questions.
Children in the Next Step Program, working with ECM staff, develop a written plan to guide them as they make the transition to a more independent life. The young person may choose to attend university, start a business, or choose some kind of vocational training or apprenticeship to enter a trade. The sponsors are given the option to support the young person through these critical steps until they are fully ready to start life on their own. Once they complete their training or higher education, they move on from the Next Step Program and begin supporting themselves while still receiving emotional support, mentoring, and spiritual guidance from our international staff.
To choose a child for Next Step sponsorship, view our online list or contact our office for more information.
If you would like to select a child from either sponsorship list but prefer to pay by a means other than credit card, please contact our office.
