How long is a commitment to sponsor a child?
Child sponsorship continues as long as the child stays in school. We ask for a minimum commitment of one year but many sponsors enjoy supporting the child through out his years at school.
How much does sponsoring a child cost each month?
Sponsorship costs $38 a month or $456 a year per child. You may make monthly, quarterly, or yearly payments online or mail in your support to Mission Impact.
What does my monthly donation provide?
Your sponsorship will cover the cost to provide a holistic Christian education for your child.
Where do the children attend school?
You can choose a child from either Colegio Vida y Esperanza, a Pre-K-12th grade in Santa Lucía Milpas Altas, or Próximos Pasos, an all-girls school in Santa María de Jesús, Guatemala.
How do I make my sponsorship donation?
DIRECT PAYMENT. (The Prefered option!) Direct payment means that your contributions are automatically deducted from your checking or savings account each month. This method keeps our administrative costs low. We will be happy to send you an authorization form to complete and return.
MONTHLY, QUARTERLY, YEARLY PAYMENT by check or online.
ONLINE CREDIT CARD PAYMENT. We can automatically charge your credit card each month. Please note that 2-4% of your total gift goes to the credit card company for their services.
Can I communicate with my sponsored child?
We encourage you to send cards and letters to your sponsored child. The children love to receive photos of you and your family. All correspondence must go through Mission Impact and will be translated by our bilingual staff. Keep the letters simple and share about your family, pets, job, hobbies and your favorite Bible verses. Please do not send any gifts or packages.
Where do I send my letters?
You can complete the online “Send a Greeting” form and your note will be received the same day. Or mail your letter or card (with child number and name) to:
