ACWAM's Haitian Child Sponsorship Program Our sponsorship program is designed so that we can help the facilities that we support in Haiti even when we are not actually in the country. You can help for $30 Canadian ($25 U.S.) per month depending on exchange rates. All of the sponsorship money goes to its designated facility in Haiti. We presently have 130 children sponsored; many are orphaned or homeless. Because there are no social nets for the poor and needy they look to organizations like ACWAM for help, education and housing for the children.The following are our opportunities to offer sponsorship: God's Littlest Angels It is an orphanage housing about 100 children. They range in age from newborn to about 7 years old. Here we are currently sponsoring 30 children. Our money goes to buy food, water, medical supplies, and clothes; and helps to keep a roof over the children's heads. Haitian Children's Rescue Mission H.C.R.M. is another orphanage, housing about 70 older children ranging in age from 2 to 14 years old. Here we sponsor 24 children, helping to pay for the necessities as well as their education. Callebasse School ACWAM assisted in the construction of this Christian school in a rural area. Many families cannot afford to send their children to public school. By sponsoring children here, we are able to buy their uniforms, books, school supplies and pay the teachers salaries. Although we presently only sponsor 44 of the approximate 100 students, we are still able to give each student in the school a hot lunch every day. Sponsorship Open Demier School This school built by ACWAM is high in the mountains and the people here have no electricity or running water. It is the only school in the area. We are blessed to be able to sponsor 32 of their approximately 100 students. Again, our money goes to pay the teachers, buy books, uniforms, supplies, and to provide a hot meal for each of the children. Often it is their only meal of the day. Sponsorship Closed Orphelinat De L'Enfant Jesus This is a small orphanage in Haiti near Kenscoff taking care of 25 children. While we are not offering a "child" sponsorship program for this orphanage we are looking for individuals or organizations that would pledge a monthly amount toward the operation of this orphanage. Sponsorship Open Merger School ACWAM is in the process of acquiring the land so we can begin a building program for this school, located in a very poor area near the ocean. The school is presently operating in a rented partially built temporary building. This project will be similar to the Demier project above. There are presently about 12 students but we anticipate this could grow to about 100 students within a year. Sponsorship Open If you are interested in helping the children of Haiti through ACWAM's sponsorship program please click the link below and fill out the accompanying form. This information will be forwarded to the sponsorship coordinator for action. ACWAM's goal with the sponsorship program is to find enough sponsors for each school or orphanage to cover in full the monthly operating costs. This would include food and clean water for the children, medical treatment for the children, wages for the teachers, school directors and cooks. It also covers school supplies including books, pencils, etc. and material for uniforms. Once we have enough sponsors we turn our attention to new sponsorship opportunities, new schools or new orphanages that we can assist. In the above list we indicate which programs are "open" and still need sponsors and which programs are closed as they presently have enough sponsors to cover the montly operation. |
