Children
These children are cared for through the generous donations of faithful sponsors. $60 per month ($2 per day) provides food, clothing, education, and medical care. All children receive equal care and opportunity at Zion, and approximately 1/3 are in need of sponsorship.
A little something from the children of Zion:
Since I came to Zion…
“I don’t go to sleep hungry.”
“I have a bed and a mattress.”
“I am not sent home from school for lack of fees.”
“I have a box for my things.”
“I can bathe daily.”
“I am saved.”
“I learned how to worship God.”
In 3 short years our Zion family has grown to 110 children! Photos and stories are updated frequently. For additional information on the gift of sponsoring a child feel please contact us.
