SPONSORING A CHILD

Changes Lives

Sponsoring a child makes a difference in their lives

Sponsoring a child through Bridge of Hope can break the cycle of barriers from children’s education. The child sponsorship is used to improve the educational opportunities of children in community we work in.

Rwandan government has made public education available to all citizens, but many children are still unable to go school due to the poverty from their families and this lead the rise of drop out because they can not afford the school supplies such as papers, pens and notebooks .trough your contribution will bring hope and change to a sponsored child’s life and community as well.

Understanding Sponsorship (Q&A)

What is sponsorship and how does it work?

Sponsorship is a relationship where you support a child’s education, health, and overall well-being. By becoming a sponsor, you directly contribute to a child’s journey through, Kindgaten, Primary, Secondary Education and University ensuring they stay healthy and have the resources needed for their growth.
 

Every family faces different challenges, and through sponsorship, you can provide support to help your sponsored child overcome these obstacles. Your sponsorship allows the child to reach their full potential, both academically and spiritually, by fostering a relationship with Jesus Christ and initially becoming a contributing member of Rwandan society.

Your sponsorship donation, made annually, quarterly, or monthly, covers essential needs such as school fees, uniforms, health insurance, and more, helping the child thrive.

Your sponsorship donation directly benefits your sponsored child’s community in Rwanda, ensuring they receive essential support such as food, shelter, education, school uniforms, medical care, and health insurance.

Additionally, sponsorship provides children with the opportunity to hear the gospel of Jesus Christ and grow in their faith. Your donation helps address both the immediate needs and long-term challenges children face, allowing them to stay safe, flourish, and work toward a brighter future.

Your support plays an important role in helping children reach their full potential.

Will my sponsorship contributions go directly to one child?

Sponsored children do not receive direct cash benefits. While each Bridge of Hope Child Sponsor is connected with one child, we make the most of your donations by pooling funds to invest in long-term community development programs that transform entire areas.

By doing this, we ensure that for every child you sponsor, five more children directly benefit as well.

How are children chosen for sponsorship?

The families who receive our help are those who need it the most. Sponsored children are carefully chosen by people who know them best, local Bridge of Hope staff, parent’s committees and community members through our community Home Cell groups.

At Bridge of Hope, respecting the rights of parents is important to us. That’s why parents and caregivers are the only individuals allowed to register a child for sponsorship, and their involvement continues throughout the child’s participation in the program.

We conduct detailed screenings to ensure that the child selected is truly in need of support.
