Sponsor a Family
Sponsor an African widow and her children.
Stand beside a family rebuilding its life.
Support a displaced family through a combination of housing, practical essentials, education and opportunities to earn.
Turn intention into practical help
A family’s needs are connected.
A widow may be trying to secure shelter, keep children learning and find an income at the same time. Family sponsorship allows a conversation about those needs as a whole, rather than treating each one in isolation.
OWAID’s approximate basic home target is $500. Skills training, school support, healthcare and essentials may require separate arrangements based on the household and current program availability.
- Understand the household’s priorities
- Choose a practical scope of support
- Ask about responsible progress updates
Build a relationship with clear expectations.
The team can discuss the scope, duration and reporting arrangements for support. Please ask how a designated gift will be used and what happens if circumstances change.
We encourage respectful connection that protects the family’s privacy. Photographs, names and personal information are shared only when appropriate.
Together, we can help
a family begin again.
Give toward a home, a school year or the everyday care that makes a future possible.
