What do sponsorship contributions provide?

In short, your contributions provide hope for a better future for a child and his or her community. Specifically, your tax-free contributions provide your sponsored child with a uniform and shoes, which are both essential for school attendance. It also purchases school supplies so your sponsored child can take notes in class. It helps pay for part of the child's school books and a portion goes toward paying teacher salaries. Additionally, your continued contributions go toward funding other community development programs, such as building new classrooms to allow more children to attend school, constructing medical clinics to allow better healthcare for all members of the community, and supporting agricultural programs like the Beans For Life program that lends beans to families whose crops are wiped out from hurricanes.
