HOW ARE WE DIFFERENT?

Many of us are familiar with child sponsorship programs where a $30-$40 sponsorship covers child's entire monthly need. While many of these organizations do great work, the vast majority of them do not sponsor orphan and abandoned children. Rather, they subsidize families in crisis. Hands and Feet Project has grown to care for children in the same situation through our Family Preservation programs, however, the majority (over 95%) of the children in our care are without any parental support. We are underwriting every financial need of the child as they are brought into the Hands and Feet Project family.

The Hands and Feet Project covers the cost of food, utilities, healthcare, school, and our Haitian childcare staff. We also commit 5% of the monthly sponsorship to be directed toward our children’s DREAM FUND.

The DREAM FUND is our savings account, set aside for our children’s future. The DREAM FUND will be managed as one investment account benefiting our children upon their transition into the Haitian community.

HOW IT WORKS?

1. Our childcare programming provides a Circle of Care around each child in our care. They are served in Residential Care, Community-Based Care, Transitional Care, Family Preservation and Educational Support. Additional unsponsored children are served as they are enrolled in our daycare or receive emergency support during times of crisis.
2. 5% of Child Sponsorship funding is dedicated to the Dream Fund, an account set aside for our children's future. This fund is managed as one investment account benefitting our children upon their transition into the Haitian community.
3. Upon request, an individual or group may become a child's sole sponsor by meeting the minimum required sponsorships. Email donations@handsandfeetproject.org to learn more.
4. As a child sponsor, you would receive updates through our donor management system. All update notifications will be sent to you via email, and can also be accessed by logging into your account that can be accessed through our website.
5. It is our vision to see individuals become more than a group of financial sponsors, but also a meaningful, engaging, prayerful support system.
6. We encourage each sponsor to help build their child’s support system. Invite a friend or family member to join you today!
