This gift, not only impacts the child, but also the community as a whole. What a blessing!
Our students are always excited and encouraged when they receive letters and photos from their sponsors!
We ask that you also pray for your child, their family, and their community. Your child will know your name, pray for you, and treasure the letters and pictures they receive.
They feel encouraged by being sponsored and their life path will be different because of your generosity and relationship with them.

Your sponsorship will guarantee that the child you sponsor is enrolled in school and has access to a quality education. It also addresses your sponsored child’s physical needs, through health monitoring and feeding programs when needed.
Most importantly, your sponsorship gives your child the opportunity to learn about Jesus and be encouraged through our discipleship programming.
Our model is holistic. Your decision to sponsor one child creates a ripple effect by raising the quality of education for all children in the community.
Your donations are used to address direct barriers to education, for example: school fees, textbooks, desks, school supplies, and school uniforms. Indirect barriers, like lack of access to safe water or a health clinic, are also addressed.
Sponsorship funding also improves the quality of education your sponsor child is receiving, through programs like teacher training.
Each community we serve has unique strengths and challenges, so we customize sponsorship programming in each location.
Sponsors can login to their own sponsorship portal HERE. There they can easily view their sponsor child’s letters, update your payment information, and more.

Child Sponsorship Impact
Learn About Our Special Needs Program in Guatemala:
We developed the special needs sponsorship program in Guatemala with one goal:
To improve the quality of life for children with special needs and their families.
- Transportation: There is an excellent special needs facility near the communities, but parents cannot afford the transportation for their child.
- Household Income: Therapy sessions for special needs children are available through the special needs facility, but many parents cannot afford them.
Community members volunteered to transport the children to and from the special needs facility. Sponsorship funds will compensate drivers.
All sponsored children with special needs will receive weekly sessions from a qualified therapist at the special needs facility.
While all parents in our Western Highlands communities will benefit from the ongoing 410 Bridge programs (i.e. economic development programs to empower families to increase household income), parents of children with special needs require additional support.
Additional proceeds from monthly sponsorships are used to:
- Provide wheelchairs as necessary
- Equip homes with additional mobility equipment
- Offer emotional support for family members

From First Day of School to Forever Changed
For most children, the first day of school means sharpened pencils, new shoes, and a nervous smile. But for a child living in extreme poverty, it can mean something far greater — the start of a journey that transforms their life forever.
Through the 410 Bridge child sponsorship program, children like Mary and Kennedy are taking those first steps — into classrooms, into faith, and into a future they never dreamed possible. These are true stories from sponsored children whose lives have been changed.
The Story of Edy Josué Ruiz
When Edy Josué Ruiz arrived at the rehabilitation center in 2018, his life was marked by loneliness and the pain of his father’s absence. He didn’t speak, didn’t play, and found refuge in silence. But God had a plan for him.
The rehabilitation center provided the support he needed through speech therapy, motor skills development, and psychological counseling. However, it was the love and faith he encountered there that truly transformed his heart. Thanks to the therapists and their dedication, Edy began to open up—he learned to speak, to smile, and most importantly, to find peace through his faith in Jesus.
Community leaders also played a key role in Edy and his mother’s journey. Through their constant support, prayers, and encouragement, they offered spiritual and emotional strength. The community became a fundamental pillar in his transformation.
Sponsor a Child in the Dominican Republic for the First Time with 410 Bridge!
We have an exciting announcement — for the very first time, you can now sponsor a child in the Dominican Republic through 410 Bridge!
Child sponsorship has always been at the heart of what we do.

It’s about encouragement, relationship, and hope. And now, this life-changing opportunity is expanding into the Dominican Republic.
