SPONSORSHIP ALERT: Due to Covid many schools have been closed for up to 12 months. We have not been able to check children. Some of the children below may not have had a recent field check. If you sponsor the child and we discover at a later date the child has not returned we will advise you & offer you a needy child from a similar background. Right now we continue to send funds to the
school as they need to fund teacher wages & we don’t want mission schools to close. Please contact us with any questions. Visit this link for the latest update https://childimpact.org/current-situation-amid-the-pandemic/
