You can help the girls at Quinta Anfuso, and hundreds of other children like them, through our Join The Village opportunity.
JOIN THE VILLAGEDue to the unique culture of the area we ask that you contact us directly to learn more about how to help children in Cuba, including sponsorship. You can contact us through the form below or call us at (360) 574 -3343.
When you sponsor a child, you’re not just providing essentials like nutritious meals, clean water, education, and health care. You’re helping unlock something far greater—their God-given purpose. You’re creating a bond that goes beyond meeting needs, showing them the love of Christ and guiding them toward a future filled with hope.
Select a child to sponsor and step into their journey with an ongoing commitment of at least $38 a month. By doing so, you'll be part of God's plan for their life, providing vital resources like education, meals, and spiritual guidance.
Receive your sponsor kit, complete with your child's detailed profile, photo, and special gifts. Get to know their hopes, dreams, and challenges as you begin a meaningful, life-changing relationship.
Share prayers, encouragement, and love through letters and photos. Your words have the power to shape their faith and future, offering hope and strength as they navigate life. You can even visit your child on a short-term mission trip!
Your sponsorship helps provide for your child’s physical, educational and spiritual needs. These needs are met differently depending on the community your child is in, but include things like:
We specialize in quality mission trips, affording you the opportunity for meaningful face-to-face time with your child.
Our programs focus on education – the #1 factor in breaking the cycle of poverty.
We place high value on personal communication with you as a sponsor.
Our programs are Christ-centered and have strong relationships with the local church.
Plus bonus group fundraising ideas!
