Konbit Kids is the child sponsorship ministry of
Konbit Haiti.
We want to approach sponsorships a bit differently here at Konbit Haiti.
The challenges we face in Haiti are many, and protecting the identity of the children we serve is a priority.
So what does that look like for a sponsorship? A monthly commitment ensures we are properly investing in children long-term and focusing on lasting changes rather than quick fixes that aren’t beneficial for the child or the community they are a part of.
Your sponsorship is Ethical and Responsible.
Providing support for a child ensures a dignified life, without the sponsorship disrupting their social or cultural dynamics.
Your sponsorship prioritizes the protection of the child and their well-being.
Our transparency in where funds are being used and implemented will never be a question for you. We will primarily be investing in our after-school programs which include meals, learning new skills, discipleship, mentoring, learning job skills, and much more. While schools have been closed in Haiti temporarily, support will also provide the ability to help kids get to school when they are open. This sponsorship also helps with medical emergencies. You will receive general updates about what we are doing and how your commitment is making a difference.
Your sponsorship will be in full confidence.
No serious consequence or fallout for an individual child being sponsored.
Tax deductible: your sponsorship is a qualified charitable donation.
You help the child and their community Respectfully and safely.
