A. A sponsor for His Hands for Mexico is someone like you who has made the decision to invest in the life of a child in need in our Mexico program. A sponsor's regular financial gifts enables a child to receive help with schooling. This includes a school uniform, shoes, and school registration fees. In addition, each sponsored child's family receives assistance with food. Finally our partners in Mexico, Franco and Barby, are able to share the love of Jesus with these children and families. As you can see, sponsorship changes the life of a child!
A. If you are interested in sponsoring a child in the His Hands for Mexico program, you can visit our Children in Need page. Once on this page, you can click on a child's photo and you will be directed to a sight that will walk you through the process of sponsorship via Paypal or check. Soon after completing this process, you will receive an email from the coordinator for the His Hands for Mexico program with information about the child, information on how to correspond with the child if you choose and a welcome packet.
If you choose to sponsor a child in the Mexico program, the cost is $20.00 per month.
A. His Hands Support Ministries is unique in that 100% of the financial gifts given by sponsors go to the sponsored child. Each of our country programs is headed by a volunteer coordinator who is personally invested in that country. In addition, they work closely with our partners in country. It is our goal as a ministry to support these partners in their work.
A. The sponsorship fees are due on the first of the month. You may choose to make your sponsorship donations monthly, quarterly, twice a year or once a year. When you start your sponsorship you will receive a statement showing your sponsorship pledge for the remainder of the calendar year and then in January an annual notice will be sent out for the next year.
A. No. Once a child has been sponsored, we will mark the child as "sponsored" on the website and leave their photo on the site for a few more weeks. After that, their photo is removed to make it easier for the remaining children on the website to be seen and, hopefully, chosen for sponsorship.
