Sponsor a Child

Sponsorship Program

Become an Open Arms “Partner Parent” by sponsoring a child through Open Arms International.

1. Sponsor a child at the Open Arms Village as a "Partner Parent" for $55 per month. Partner with other sponsor parents to care for the total well‐being of a child. This includes a new home, house parents and assistant house parents, food, clothing, education and transportation, medical costs, etc. You will be able to communicate with your sponsor child through letters, and you will receive two letters and one updated photo per year from your child.

2. Sponsor a portion of the street children feeding program for $30 per month. You will help feed the 120 children in our feeding program at the Kambi Teso slum in Eldoret, Kenya, four times per week.

3. Sponsor a child in a family to get an education for $30 per month. Many children live with their families, but cannot afford to have an education. For $30 per month, you can help a child receive an education by helping with their school fees, exam fees, school supplies, and school uniforms. You will sponsor an individual child and receive a child profile with information about the child and his/her photo.

Visit the "Meet the Children" page to see the children available for sponsorship at the Open Arms Village.
