• The EquipNepal quarterly newsletters (via mail) and e-mail updates (upon request)
• A yearly progress report with information about your sponsored child.
• The opportunity to send birthday, holiday and other greetings to your child on special occasions.
• The joy of opening your heart to and making a significant impact on a special child who will remember your generosity and compassion for a lifetime.

Sponsor Feedback

Our choice to sponsor Prativa was motivated a great deal by the fact that our own girls (ages 5 and 1) could grow up knowing about her and we could talk with them about the differences in our circumstances. There are few opportunities to experience cultural diversity in the rural area we live in. We see this opportunity as a huge blessing to our family and it is rewarding think we may be able to make a difference in another person's life.

What are a sponsor’s responsibilities and possibilities?

• The only responsibility you have as a sponsor is unto the Lord in your commitment.  If you are unable to pay the monthly sponsorship fee, please let us know.
• You should know that anything your sponsored child receives from you – a letter, card, photo of yourself and family, or gift – is very special to them!  They each have a big vinyl envelope in which to keep the things you send to them.  You may write to them via e-mail or by the United States postal service.
• It is risky to send packages through the mail, although you may attempt it.  The USPS has no control over anything once it leaves our country.  FedEx and UPS are reliable but costly.  We will contact you, when possible, if there is a way to get correspondence and gifts to your child via a courier.
• You may contribute to EquipNepal’s scholarship fund for the continuing education of or business start-up (in the form of a micro loan) for your sponsored child when he or she is ready.

How are the funds EquipNepal receives used to help needy children?

100% of your designated gifts to go to the designation; i.e., all of the funds you give in support of a child goes to the children’s home where the child lives. EquipNepal does not keep a percentage but trusts the Lord to provide for administration costs, including the wiring fees to get the funds to Nepal. Services provided to sponsored children with these funds include education at a private, Christian school (including uniforms, books, and school supplies); a loving, safe home with supportive Christian staff; medical care and nutrition; Christian teaching; and other aid, as necessary.
