Class Sponsorship
Are you interested in supporting a child’s education, but don’t want the pressure of corresponding with the child? Class sponsorship is a good solution for you! For $43 CAD/ $35 USD per month, you can have the opportunity to support the costs related to a student in a class, without being paired up with a specific child. You will follow a grade through their education journey, receiving quarterly updates on the class and their studies. Each student in the class that you are sponsoring will receive the benefits of individual child sponsorship, without the direct connection to a sponsor. The schools that participate in this sponsorship model are located in areas of high turnover which makes it difficult to connect sponsors to students who are constantly leaving. This program also assists our partner schools, cutting down on administration burdens.
Higher Education
A couple of our sponsorship partners facilitate a scholarship program in their schools. This program is application based and is available to students who show a commitment to their studies, to the Lord, and to continued involvement in their communities. Receiving this scholarship for post-secondary education is a life-changing opportunity for students in the developing world who seek to better themselves for the sake of future generations. For $50/month, you can support a student in pursuing a post-secondary education.

“When I was in Grade 4, I heard a presentation about the Adoration School in Haiti. That made me think about the children of my age that don’t have the privilege of going to school as I do. The question came into my mind how to raise money for them…. Then in the summer of 2020, I started my HJK Landscaping Service and went to my neighbors and worked for them. My business worked out well, so I decided to put away 10 percent of all the money I received and give it to the Adoration School in Haiti.”
“In school, I have been taught the Word of God, which is very important to my life and that of my family. I feel happy because the teachers at La Palabra treat me very well.”
