It's all about RELATIONSHIP!

Sponsor a Providence Child with your friends and take part in a unique and exciting adventure focused on empowering and enriching the Providence Children through strong, deep, and lifelong relationships with you.

Through visits to La Providencia to meet your child in person, regular updates, and correspondence, your group can develop a personal relationship with your child. Once the personal relationship is developed and nurtured, you will be able to effectively pray for, encourage, advise, and simply love each other as family.

Your financial investment will ensure that the Providence Children receive education, nutrition, medical care, future education and training, and families of the highest quality. Orphans come into the La Providencia community after being abandoned by or otherwise losing their families, and other children from the local community are living in levels of extreme and virtually inescapable poverty. Through your gifts and relationships, you can help lift these Providence Children out of their impoverished situations and develop them into Gospel-centered societal leaders. And you can rest easy knowing that 100% of your investment goes to your child’s care.

How Does it Work?

1. You and five friends/family members commit to sponsor one Providence Child for his or her educational life through relationship, prayer, and financial support

Providence Children are the orphans and community children under La Providencia’s care, who are all brought into the community between the ages of 0-5
Each family/individual unit becomes an Advocate Family

2. After you gather your friends and submit an application, we assign your group a Providence Child

Because the Providence Children are each unique and beautiful, and are not commodities for sponsors to pick and choose from, Advocate Families will not view pictures and/or descriptions of specific Providence Children before committing to sponsor a child

3. Each Advocate Family invests $40 per month in your child’s nutrition, medical care, education, in-home expenses, and college/business fund

Every penny of your investment will be used for the materials, staff, and programs that directly touch your child’s life, such as teachers and other educational needs, doctors and other medical needs, social workers, psychologists, food, clothing, housing, and transportation
1/6 of every sponsorship dollar is professionally invested in a U.S.-based mutual fund for the Providence Children’s college/business fund, which will help your child get a college education or start a business upon graduation from Academia La Providencia
$5 of each Advocate Family’s monthly investment will enable PWM to provide medical care for another orphan in the state of Comayagua (where La Providencia is located) at La Providencia’s John Eaves Medical Center (this additional $5 investment is an optional investment that sponsors can opt out of if they wish)
If preferred, Advocate Families can make annual payments of $480 or a one-time payment of $7,680 to cover the entire sponsorship period

4. One of your Advocate Families agrees to serve as the Lead Advocate Family and take on the following responsibilities:

a. Leads the Advocate Families through the sponsorship process with help from PWM’s staff

b. Starts the relationship with your child through at least one in-person visit with your child in the first two years of sponsorship (other Advocate Families are encouraged to visit your child as early as possible)

c. Communicates with PWM and your child throughout the sponsorship period

5. Your Providence Child will not know that you are supporting him or her financially

This protects your child by ensuring that he or she will not feel obligated to keep you involved through letter-writing or any other means for fear of financial loss
After the Lead Advocate Family meets your child in-person and establishes the personal relationship, you can communicate with your child through letters and electronic communication
When meeting your Providence Child, you will be introduced simply as friends, or something similar to further the relationship

6. While your child will not know about the financial sponsorship, you will receive quarterly updates on your child’s life and have a relationship with your child

The updates will provide you with a regular look into every area of your child’s life (e.g., school, home, medical, nutrition) through e-mails, pictures, and video, and also allow you to review PWM’s stewardship of your investment
After the in-person visit by the Lead Advocate Family, you will be able to correspond with and visit your child as often as you like
