Sponsorship

To be able to raise funds required to cover the costs of education we require your assistance with our sponsorship program.

Two dollars per week, or less than the cost of a cup of coffee, goes a long way to help a child in an orphanage in East Timor. Your financial contribution to the East Timor Childrens Fund will assist to educate, clothe and feed the sponsored child in the photo along with many others in selected orphanages. In addition, your funds will be used to support a range of projects to improve facilities in their communities.

We invite you to enter into a life giving relationship with the sponsored children at the orphanages.

To facilitate this you will receive:-
- a photo and details of one of the children
- periodic reports on his/her well-being and growth
- opportunities to correspond through letters

HOW LONG TO SPONSOR A CHILD

Sponsoring will normally continue whilst the child is at school. This enables the child to complete his/her education, without any disruption, to the best of his/her ability.

We do understand that sometimes circumstances change and you may need to alter your sponsorship. The scheme is structured in such a way as to easily facilitate this. Your contributions are added to a fund and all the children at the orphanges are sponsored from this fund, so any small changes or disruption will not effect individual children.

Of course, a drop in available funds will mean that the level of support for all the children and the various projects will be adversely affected. If you are not able to make regular sponsorship payments on either a temporary or permanent basis please contact us to look at other options available.

If you feel that you would like to assist but cannot afford to sponsor a child you can make donation payments also.

How we do this depends on the schools requirements by way of extra lessons, such as English, Tourism, Hospitality, Arts, Sports, Cooking etc. or extra teachers and facilities to accommodate these classes.

With this extra help, the children will be in a better position upon leaving school to find a job that will help them to support themselves and their families.
