Go on the site click on programs then child sponsorship, choose a child to sponsor, and then pay the deposit. Call 339-999-3439 or send an email to info@pasturesofhopeitl.org if a representative is required. Payment confirmations for online sponsorship are sent via email. Recurring monthly payments can be set up, and sponsors are sent a welcome package that includes a child’s profile and photo. The child and family are informed by Ugandan staff.
Who is a Sponsor?

How much does it cost?
A contributing sponsor can sponsor a child for $50 per month or $600 per year. The majority of sponsors make contributions. They are one of the child’s three sponsors and give $50 a month to the child. Your donation will always go directly toward supporting that particular child and their family.

Yes! We advise you to send your child letters and photos. We will provide you with a mailing address or email: info@pasturesofhopeitl.org. Your child will reply to you in writing.
How many times can I write to my child?
Up to three times a year is what we advise. But ultimately, it’s up to you, so don’t feel pressured to write every month if you’re not a writer.
