Short description: This is a shared sponsorship to meet the needs of training in the choir Description:
Most organizations drop children from sponsorship around the age of fourteen or fifteen, when they finish primary school. This only furthers the cycle of poverty, causing these children to then raise children who will also need sponsorship support. ICN believes that the only way to break this cycle of poverty is to push these children all the way through university or vocational school, providing them with the skills and and much needed education they need to succeed in life.
Meet Your Child Face to Face Sponsorship provides real, lasting support for a child starving for a hand up. In line with ICN's "open-source" structure, we invite and encourage sponsors to not only exchange letters with and purchase gifts for the children they support, but to travel with us and meet their child face to face. Meeting the child you have loved from so far away and for so long brings to life the letters and photos you have received over years of support.
