1. Choose a Child to Sponsor
Our team selects the children with the greatest needs first. Many of these children suffer from malnutrition, are double orphans, and have very little care at home. The child you sponsor is given a Christian education, nutritious meals, and an opportunity to hear the Gospel of Jesus Christ on a regular basis.
2. Decide on Your Method of Payment
A sponsorship share is $36/month per child and can be paid on a monthly, quarterly, bi-annually, or annual basis. Your donation can be made using a mailed check, or automatic bank account withdrawal or credit card online.
3. Pray Regularly for Your Child
In addition to your monetary support, we ask you to pray regularly for your child’s education, family life, health, and salvation through Jesus Christ. Periodically, we will send you updates on your child to help aide in your continued prayers.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does my sponsorship money go to support?
Your support goes to educate and feed the child you sponsor by providing the necessary curriculum, school supplies, uniform, and a nutritious meal each day of school. This means that part of your support also goes to faculty and teacher salaries, as well as basic infrastructure needs related to the school and ministry to each child.
What is the difference between a shared and full sponsorship?
In order to meet the needs of each student at BCA, we work to have each primary school child fully sponsored at $72/month and each secondary school child fully sponsored at $108/month. Because our basic sponsorship share is available at $36/month per child, this means that some children have more than one sponsor. Whether you pay a shared or full sponsorship, that child enters and stays within our school, receiving all the blessings of our ministry.
Can I write to my child?
Yes! We encourage each sponsor to write to your child. For more information on how to write your child, please click here.
Can I send my child a personal gift?
Because of the number of children in our schools, we try not to single out any one child with a single gift from a sponsor. Because of this, we do not allow you to send a personal gift to your child. We do work to give each child a gift during the Christmas season. A suggested gift of $25 per child will help insure that every child gets a gift and Christmas party.
Can I visit my child?
BCA partners with churches and individuals to take short-term mission trips throughout the year to help support the work of our schools. During these trips, sponsors have opportunities to meet the children they sponsor. To ensure the safety of our schools, an approval process is used for each person seeking to go on a trip.
How often will I receive updates on my child?
Our goal is to update you on your child two times a year. These updates will include an updated picture and information about your child.
