Sponsor a Child
at AFE
provides a path out of the garbage dump
for one child in Honduras
Rescuing children from the garbage dump is a complicated task. Providing just education is not enough. AFE gives children nutritious meals so that a rumbling stomach does not distract from their studies. Every day children receive vitamins, medicine and basic health care that their parents cannot provide. Transportation is provided if children live too far to walk to school; afterschool activities to fill time they might otherwise use to work in the dump; financial help when their families fall into crisis, and pastors and mentors to pursue children more fervently than local gangs.
When you pledge to sponsor a child for $36 a month, your donation provides for the holistic development of one child at AFE. The amazing thing about giving about $1 a day so that a child will not have to work in garbage is that the sacrifice is worth it, AFE´s program actually works! AFE’s first recruits from the trash dump are now in the tenth grade. The entire class makes good grades, is involved in their church, and is driven to succeed and make a difference in their world. Privately, each individual credits his or her success to a relationship with Christ, whom they met at AFE. Will you pray about supporting a child at AFE for one year?
To begin a sponsorship relationship, make your first $36 payment with your credit card online at AFE´s secure site:
AFE's CART
After making your donation, you will receive a tax-deductible receipt in your email and then monthly reminders to continue your year-long committment until the $432 pledge is completed.
After your make your first $36 donation online, within a week you will have your child´s description, photo, and prayer requests in your email inbox. Please print this info out, post it somewhere you can see it often, and remember to pray for your child. You will also receive quarterly newsletters and then a "thank you" gift from your child in December.

Thank you for considering becoming part of this great work, and thinking of the children of the garbage dump as your own.
37"Then the righteous will answer him, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?'
