Child sponsorship – with JMHA
Child sponsorship is a time proven, easy, and effective method of relieving poverty related to orphans and children in need in developing countries. To the children who receive sponsorship, it can mean the difference between a life of struggle and hardship, or a life of education, work and health.
Sponsorship is a lifeline for families who are unable to support their child due to poverty or death. Education for future adulthood is a priority in the home, and remaining family visit often. Children attend Sunday school regularly and are brought up in a home where caring for children in need is a natural response to the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Where possible, children are supported in the community with their parent /carer, connecting and benefiting whole communities with the social work and services that JMHA carry out in their area.
Through Micah's Call, sponsorship of £18 a month allows JMHA to care for a child's every need.

A common story where JMHA is based
When visiting in July 2008, the UK Micah's Call team met this family. The children Uma (girl) and Prahdeep (boy) were with their mother. Their father was close to death in hospital suffering from TB. This is a sad, but common situation. Through Malaria, TB or Aids, children lose their parents often leave a family unable to both care for children through lack on income. Their mother asked JMHA to accept her children into the needy children's home while she cared for her husband before he died.
Now, Uma and Pradheep are looked after and provided for in the children's home, while their mother can visit them once a month, and the children will spend their holiday times with her in their village. A tragicsituation but a UK sponsor has already come forward to give them both the encouragement that although they have lost, they have found love and care through JMHA enabled by a sponsor's giving.
