The Hopeful Home Child Sponsorship Process
Step 1 - Choose a child to sponsor
We encourage you to find out more information about children who live at Hopeful Home. Brief bios on the children are available for you to determine who you would like to sponsor.
Step 2: Review sponsorship costs
An annual donation of $1,000 (or quarterly donations of $250 or donations of $84 per month) helps to support a child at Hopeful Home. The contribution covers the child's accommodations, education, food, healthcare, clothing and other essentials. (That's less than $3 per day -- not even the cost of a cup of coffee.)
We encourage sponsors to consider long-term commitments allowing sponsored children to complete their stay at Hopeful Home.
Step 3: Sponsor a child
We administer sponsorships through our U.S. partner organization Ten Friends. This allows sponsorships to be tax-deductible since Ten Friends is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization.
Through Ten Friends you can set up payment options for annual, quarterly or monthly contributions. All of your contribution (minus a 3 % bank handling fee) is provided to Hopeful Home. We also offer the opportunity to make payments by wire transfers.
Step 4: Start your friendship
The personal connection can be immensely rewarding for both sponsors and the child. We encourage sponsors to establish direct contact with children through communications or even better -- personal visits. We have processes in place to make this easy.
Some sponsors do not choose to write letters to the child they sponsor but would rather just like to stay updated on a child’s development. We offer this as an option as well.
