Family Sponsorship
Family sponsorship makes a difference
Deprivation blights families' lives, blunts
children's expectations and tears families apart. By tackling the
pressures of poverty, MWB empowers families to stay
together.
How will my sponsorship help a family?
Your support is crucial to help move a family from
dependency to self-sufficiency by:
- removing many of the day-to-day pressures that drive them
apart
- meeting basic needs, such as food, health-care and warm
clothing
- bringing long-term, sustainable change as they move towards
self-sufficiency.
How family sponsorship works
Becoming self-reliant takes time. Our first priority is to meet
basic needs. We offer monthly assistance with food,
clothing or hygiene parcels. As your sponsored family becomes
stronger, your support allows us to work with them in planning
steps towards independence.
Developing a personal relationship
You can send letters and presents and pray for your
family. In return, you'll receive regular photographs and reports,
showing the difference your support is making. Many MWB sponsors
also take the opportunity to visit their family.
Options for family sponsorship
You can sponsor a family one-to-one at R840 a month, or you can
reduce your commitment by sharing the family sponsorship with three
other supporters for R210 a month.
