The Power of Family: How Family-Based Care Can Change Lives
Sponsor a child in need and help them rebuild their life
Over the years, many children have been placed in care due to poverty. However, poverty is not a permanent setback, and with the right kind of assistance, children can be reunited with their families to grow up in a safe and secure environment.
At Ty Cariad Africa, we prioritise the welfare of children, and we work to reunify them with their families whenever possible. We also provide financial support to children who are unable to be reunited with their families, so that they can continue their education and thrive.
To date, our efforts have helped reunite over 200 children with their families or find them loving foster homes. We currently provide financial assistance to 75 children, with 26 of them having dedicated sponsors. However, we need your support to continue to make a difference in the lives of orphans, vulnerable children and communities in need.
Your sponsorship will help cover the cost of school fees, medical care, scholastic materials, and social worker visits. The cost of sponsorship varies depending on the child's education level, and ranges from £20 per month for a Primary School child, to £40-£45 for a Secondary School child or a child in a Vocational College.
Your sponsorship can make a real difference in the life of a child in need. Please consider sponsoring a child today and help them rebuild their life.
*Note: The number of children who have been reunified with family members or placed in foster care may have changed since this post was written. Please contact us for the most up-to-date information.
David lost his father when he was five years old. His mother had four children and she was unable to take care of them due to ill health caused by HIV/AIDS. David was starving and had no access to education. David was placed into care in 2008 along with two of his siblings.
His mother is HIV positive, but her health has improved since taking the recommended antiretroviral drugs (ARVs) combined with a healthy diet of fruit and silver fish. She now runs a small shop and is now in a position to care for her children.
David and his two siblings were reunified with their mother in 2016, and we continue to pay for their school fees, some scholastic materials, for social work visits, and we have a medical emergency fund available should they need it.
David is so happy to be reunited with his mother. He says, "I got an opportunity to enjoy my mother's love, which I was missing for a long period while I was staying in care."
We are so grateful to our sponsors who made this possible. Your sponsorship helped to give David and his siblings a chance to rebuild their lives.
Your sponsorship could give another child like David the chance of a lifetime. With your help, they could receive an education, grow up in a family, and build a brighter future.
£20-45 per month would provide a child like David with: -
· An education
· Scholastic materials (if required)
· Medical emergency fund
· Social Work visits
· An opportunity to grow up in a family
In turn, at the end of each term, you can expect to receive: -
· A letter from your sponsored child
· A copy of their school report
· A recent picture of your sponsored child
As an organisation, we guarantee that all children receive the assistance they need, including covering the cost of their education. It is vital to us that no child feels let down, neglected, or unworthy. Therefore, we have chosen not to disclose which children have sponsors and which do not. This ensures that every child is treated equally.
The children write letters to the project, and they will never know about your involvement. However, you can be confident that your contribution, together with ours, will make a significant difference to the child and their family.
Not all children who have been reunified or fostered were placed in care due to financial poverty.
