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 R960 a month, or you can reduce your commitment by sharing the family sponsorship with three other supporters for R240 a month.
