How it works
CMF has modified traditional child sponsorship into a new program designed specifically for churches to meet the physical and spiritual needs of poor children, their families, and communities. Here’s how church-based child sponsorship works:

• An interested church contacts CMF International to begin the partnership process.

• The congregation asks its members to sponsor a group of children from one school or village in an effort to transform an entire community from the ground up.

• Individuals within the church sign up to sponsor a specific child from the group at a cost of $35 per child per month. Donors may choose to sponsor a high school student for $80 per month.

• Each donor receives a packet of information about child sponsorship and can write to their child throughout the sponsorship. The sponsor will receive three letters from their child each year.

In this approach, the funds received are pooled and each child receives the same benefits: meals, uniforms, fees, textbooks, and gifts. No child receives more than any other. The funds also provide assistance for teacher and staff salaries, building maintenance, utilities, school equipment, religious outings, and other needs.
