Sponsorship

Why sponsor a child? Sponsorship gives the children and families of Kenya hope for a better future. At Angaza, we realize it’s hard to make a true difference in the community just through one-to-one sponsorship. We know change can only come through a collaboration of our resources. We must not only feed one child, but help fix water systems, build & maintain schools, and create job opportunities. Together, we will start with sponsorship to work towards breaking the cycle of poverty and help these communities move forward.

Sponsorship is $30 a month and includes:

All school fees

Physical needs (mattress, shoes, soap, etc)

Bible

Textbooks

Health coverage

How does it work? Every three months we send the school fees for that term, to our Kenyan coordinator. After that, we meet with our sponsor kids quarterly to see how the family is doing, what their needs are, and how we can pray for them.

Sponsor Letter Writing

If you sponsor a child you can write them a letter here! The kids are so encouraged when they receive letters from their sponsors. Not sure what to write about? With this global pandemic, the kids all have been asking about the health and safety of their sponsors. Even if you haven’t written before, now is a great time! Let them know you’re okay and encourage them as we face this together.

Writing Ideas:

  • Tell them more about you and your family. List names, ages, and what activities you enjoy.

  • Your job, or what you’re learning if you’re a student

  • Describe where you live and the weather

  • Encourage them to read and study at home

  • Share scripture that uplift you in this season

  • Thank them for praying for you and let them know you are praying for them too

  • Ask if they have any prayer requests

  • Ask them about their favorite school subject

  • Ask about parents/siblings and their names

  • Favorite foods

What to Avoid:

  • Do not share personal contact information such as phone number, email or address

  • Please do not connect via social media platforms (this helps us protect you and the students from confusing or inappropriate situations)

  • Making any promises such as visiting them, paying for post-secondary education

  • Suggesting they visit you in the U.S. someday (this can come across as a promise for you to sponsor their trip)

  • Asking about Kenyan politics

  • Try not to elaborate on possessions

  • Use slang that’s difficult to understand
