Your sponsorship enables a Guatemalan child to attend an Impact Ministries school where they will receive an academic education and be taught to know and love the Lord!
An investment of $45/month can help break the cycle of poverty and illiteracy!
What does my Sponsorship provide?
In the rural areas of Guatemala, more than 75% of Indigenous people live in poverty. Many children don’t complete elementary school. At a Vida school, Christian teachers – many of whom were once Vida students themselves – are personally involved in your student’s life on a daily basis. We reach out to your child’s family and encourage them to be involved in a local church. Our leaders, teachers and support staff provide godly role models to help your child know the Lord and become all that He intends for them to be!
Your investment of $45/month helps break the cycle of poverty and illiteracy for your child by providing:
- a broad academic education at one of our Vida Christian schools
- a daily nutritious meal and vitamins (and food packages for the family while learning from home)
- medical care through the Vida Clinic for your child’s whole family
- Christian discipleship and mentoring
- a school uniform and new shoes
(some of these services are also funded through other gifts to Impact Ministries)
Your sponsor child is also blessed by your prayers and encouragement!
You can sponsor your child throughout their time in our Vida Schools. For most of our students, this is until they graduate in Grade 10. Some students continue on to our teacher training program, and they can be sponsored through Grade 13. We have many sponsors who have been faithful in supporting their child through their entire education! When your child leaves the Vida School program, we will let you know and offer you a new child to sponsor.
