Child sponsorship is one way to make a real difference for one boy or girl in need. As a sponsor, you’ll demonstrate God’s love and transform a child’s life by helping to remove obstacles that poverty places in their path. Plus, you’ll help their community and our sister church—Iglesia de El Camino y La Verdad in   Choluteca, Honduras — to become a better place to live and worship.  

Sponsorships provide financial assistance for educational purposes to children in remote areas of Choluteca, Honduras. Sponsorships are necessary because most of the children are very poor and cannot afford school clothes and supplies to attend public school. The alternative is to work in fields, make bricks or worse - nothing!  This year we hope to provide sponsorships for 110 children from the seven churches of The Way and The Truth. $125 will sponsor a child for 1 year.

What does $125 per year per child cover?   

Kindergarten (Pre-Primary): This is a huge aspect of our program. Students learn from volunteer teachers from the churches very basic reading and writing skills, how to interact with other students, and preparation for 1st grade: These teachers receive a small stipend for their efforts and classrooms are (usually in the church or Sunday School rooms). Books and supplies are provided with these funds.
1st - 9th grade (Primary School): School books, uniforms, and supplies
10th - 12th grade: (High or Secondary School) School books, supplies and some expenses

Facts about the program and the importance of your support:

• If children cannot afford their uniforms or books, they are not allowed to attend school.
• The Honduras government provides free school up to the 9th grade, only if a child can afford a uniform and books.
• In Honduras, when a child completes the 6th grade, they will frequently drop out.
• Some outlying areas where the churches are located provide education through 9th grade. Attendance in High School requires travel into a nearby city or town.
• Drop-out rates are high because students need to work to bring income to their families.
• High School is more like vocational school, focusing on the students’ abilities and interests.

Thank you for your gifts and prayers for the children of our sister church in Choluteca, Honduras! These children attend one of the seven churches of The Way and The Truth Ministry.
