What is WHM Child Sponsorship Program?
Our
goal as World Harvest Mission is to respond to spiritual and physical
needs among the most vulnerable adult and children populations in Uganda
and Rwanda. The child sponsorship program provides an opportunity for
individuals such as yourself to invest financially in the life of a child,
who otherwise would not have the opportunity of a bright
future. This program helps provide children with benefits of an education,
health care, spiritual and emotional support. All donations through WHM are
tax-deductible in the United States.

Can I send small packages to my sponsored
child?
The best gift would
be a cash donation. However, if one prefers to send a package, we
encourage you to send along a suggested cash donation of $20 for packages
that are less than 2 lbs and $30 for packages that are up to 5 lbs.
Sending packages to Africa is very risky and often times the gifts may
not reach the recipients. That’s why we encourage cash donations as
opposed to gifts and presents.

What can I expect?

How do I communicate with my sponsored
child?
We encourage you to
write to your child as often as you like. We rely on the field
coordinators and guardians of the children to provide us with timely
correspondence.
All correspondence, whether from the sponsor, or the children, must be
filtered through WHM for security and accountability purposes.
