WHY SPONSOR A STUDENT?

Amparo’s vision - is to see children's lives transformed by God through education. We realize it’s crucial to involve the entire family in this process, which is why we encourage the parents of our students to be involved in our parent support program to create a healthy family environment.

Amparo's mission - is to ensure that all girls and boys have access to a complete and quality education so that they can reach the potential that God has given them in life, including employment opportunities, better health, and also to participate in the future local, and national leadership.

When you choose to sponsor a student, your support will cover the costs for a student to attend Colegio Amparo. Your monthly sponsorship of $40 is life-changing as it makes it possible for a student to be able to receive a quality Christian based education.  

Your support allows us to provide a holistic approach to care both in and out of the classroom. Sponsorship has been proven to be one of the most effective methods of tackling spiritual, physical and socio-economic poverty in children and families.

Through our programs, we also work with our students on an individual basis and are able to assess the basic needs that are specific to him or her.

 

Each Student Will Receive:

All educational supplies and school uniform

A nutritious meal at school

Access to our after-school programs

Tutoring classes – help with homework   

Access to youth programs – special activities 

Health care for the students family

Parental support programs – family Involvement

Access to Amparo's other development programs

  • What is the Cost to Sponsor a Child?
    The cost of child sponsorship is only $35 a month.
  • If I sponsor a child, how long of a commitment do I need to make?"
    The length of the commitment is up to you. We ask for a minimum commitment of 1 year but desire to see long-term relationships flourish between our children and sponsors.
  • Is the Sponsorship Tax Deductible?
    Yes! Tax receipts are issued at the end of February for donations for the previous calendar year. If we have your email address, you will get a tax receipt through email.
  • Does my donation go to help my sponsored child directly?
    Sponsorship contributions are pooled together and used to fund the programs benefiting the sponsored children and their families - in other words, your donation will benefit the child you have selected.
  • Will I Receive Updates About My Sponsored Child?
    In addition to email communication directly from your sponsored child, Amparo will send you periodic updates about your sponsored child’s progress.
  • Can I Send Gifts to My Sponsored Child?
    Unfortunately, the mailing system in Nicaragua is not efficient or reliable, however, by communicating with us through email, you can inquire about person’s or teams coming to visit and how you can send gifts with them.
  • What Happens to the Child if I Cancel Sponsorship?
    If you need to discontinue your child sponsorship, we will begin looking for a new sponsor immediately so as little time as possible will pass between sponsors and the child can continue in our programs.
  • Other Questions or Concerns?
    For any other questions regarding the sponsorship process, child contact, cancellations, etc. please contact sponsorship@amparointernational.org
