What Does My Sponsorship Provide?

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: nutritious meals, safe drinking water, health care, school tuition, tutoring, bible training and spiritual mentorship.

"When we heard about Forward Edge we didn’t hesitate to sponsor a child. I love that my children can see us serving the Lord with the money He has entrusted to us. I love the opportunity to correspond with our child and hope to one day further serve her and her community by serving on a missions trip to her village."

Habari (hello), my name is Jemimah

  • location

    Kenya

  • 6 yrs. old

    09-03-2019

Entered the Program: August 2024

Jemimah lives with her parents and three siblings in a three-room sheet metal house with a dirt floor. The house has access to electricity and they fetch water from a neighbor’s tap. They have an outdoor kitchen and use firewood for cooking. They do not have a bathing facility but use a pit latrine that is in poor condition.

Both of Jemimah’s parents are unemployed; they do go out each day in search of casual labor jobs, but work is hard to find. They struggle to provide the necessities and sometimes lack food to feed their children. The family is in great need.

Sponsorship Level What's this?

Three $38 sponsorships are needed to cover the complete holistic care of one child. Cover one, two, or three sponsorships.

You can trust that you're making a real and lasting impact.
