You can write your kiddo by going to the Write page on our website. There you have the option to write an electronic letter or you can scan and upload a handwritten letter. You also have a way to attach pictures there as well.

You will receive letters from your child at least 3 times per year. They will be handwritten, scanned, and emailed to you.

You can write your child as often as you like, and we aim to have the kiddos write back within 2 weeks.

We have a monthly prompt that can give you direction. You can find this on our Write page or browse past ones on our Instagram highlight. A few suggestions are to describe your family (where you live, interests, pets), send a photo, explain special holidays and family customs, weddings, graduation, new jobs, etc. Share your dreams and the daily activities of your life, write about the terrain/climate/people where you live, talk about an important life lesson you learned, describe how you overcame a challenge or met a goal, share your favorite Bible stories and verses, affirm that God loves him or her and has a great plan for his or her life. Most importantly, be yourself. But please, whatever you do, do not share personal contact information. This is to protect you and your kiddo.

We do not ship packages to the kiddos. There are multiple reasons for this, primarily revolving around costs to get it to your kiddo and local economic impacts in Rwanda. If you want to give a gift to your kiddo, please make a monetary donation via our Give page and our leaders will work with your child to purchase an appropriate gift.

Absolutely! We encourage it. Trips vary but are usually timed to when the kids will be out of school and on holiday. Reach out to us to learn about upcoming trips with a leader or what to do if you’re going on your own.

We utilize Pure Charity as our donation platform. When you sign up to sponsor, it is done via the Pure Charity platform. When signing up you will be prompted to create an account with Pure Charity. Please keep this information accessible if and when you need to update payment methods.
