Children At Risk
In addition, we aim to run “Parent Seminars” to educate the parents of our sponsored children about the value of education and provide us with a further opportunity to share the gospel. The cost per seminar (for 30 children and their parents/guardians) is approximately $150.
New Life Foundation is seeking partners who will partner with us in having a long-term, multi-generational impact on hundreds of young people through this sponsorship program.
SELECTION CRITERION
The selection of children and families consists of this main criterion –
- Only one child per family
- Children of poor provincial pastors: We feel it is important to look after our poor local village pastors by supporting them to keep their children in school
- Poor children in the provinces are willing to study hard with supportive parents: We provide sponsorship to poor children who are committed and who have supportive parents.
- Children from Grades 1-12 in government schools: As funds are limited, we only provide sponsorship for a child to attend the local government school, however, vocational training or private schooling is not provided. We aim to support a child to finish their High School qualification.
The vision of the project is to bring hope and a bright future by breaking the poverty cycle through Education and Jesus – by providing sponsorship to poor families in the provinces to enable their children to attend the local government school; providing an opportunity for the local church to minister to these families, and to be a witness of God’s love to families who do not know Christ.
The goals of the project are to provide sponsorship to 150 children to pursue higher education, expectedly finishing Grade 12 in High School, and to bring the Gospel and make disciples with these sponsorship children and families through the program.
The mission of the project is to work closely with the provincial pastors to reach out to these poor children and families by sending funds to provincial pastors to purchase rice and ingredients, thus they can look after the physical and spiritual health of the children and their families by visiting and following up on them upon a regular basis.
