Sponsorship Program
Sponsor a Vietnamese child for only $25/month
or sponsor a whole family for $40/month.
We also have Homes for University Students that need sponsors for $80/month.
NOTE: Because of the double digit inflation here we had to raise the cost of sponsorship so we can provide more money for nutrition. We will not require those who are already sponsoring to increase - that will be voluntary.

About me: There are 5 in my family. After coming back from Cambodia’s war, my father got malaria. Then he had acute sinusitis. We tried to find money to treat him. At present, he gets cataract and needs to be treated, which makes our financial problems more critical. My mother is a builder’s assistant, earning a little money while three of us all are in school. My family cannot afford us to keep studying and treat my father’s eyes. My two younger ones are at 6th and 2nd grade. We need your help. Family members:

About me: My family is in a difficult situation. My father works as a builder’s assistant but his health is weak so he cannot work the whole month – he has to be off some days due to sickness. It is caused by labor accident. Since then, his shoulders’ bones are broken. At present, he only can earn a little payment every month. My mother gets rheumatism and stomachache so cannot work much. My older sister is studying at a 2-year college and cannot help my parents much. We cannot make a house so we are now living in a small room in my grandmother’s house. Though we are in poverty, we trust in God and believe that he will send a sponsor to help us. Thank you!
