Sponsorship & Nurturing

The Institute for Global Outreach provides vital support to single and double orphaned children, many of whom have lost their parents under heartbreaking circumstances. For these children, access to nutritious meals, medical care, and a loving environment can make all the difference in their lives. By offering this care, we help ensure they have the chance to thrive and find hope for the future.

   Instead of an orphanage, children that have lost both parents are taken care of by a guardian, often a grandparent, aunt, or family member, who knows them intimately and them in a way that fosters safety, comfort and connection. A social worker is then assigned to the child to ensure that they are receiving proper care and to assist with any concerns that may arise. 

  To see the remarkable difference in these now sponsored children after one or two years is an incredible experience. Although still living in the same environment and facing the same circumstances, these children are now very different. The hopeless, lifeless and withdrawn look once present in their eyes have become bright, vibrant and full of hope and excitement!  

$29 a month covers Food, Housing Support, Clothing & School Supplies!

Bethy & Abraham's Story

 

What happens when a child loses their sponsor?

The most tragic news for a child who is in dire need of help is to learn that their support has ended. These children had this devastating experience first hand. 

Meet Bethleham..

This little girl’s tragedy is an example of the devastating effect of losing support. She is an orphan who was in good health and thriving while receiving funds through a nonprofit organization. When the organization no longer had funding, 50 HIV positive orphans lost their lifeline. During the period when she received no support, Bethy's health declined drastically & life became terribly harsh for her. She became very frail, lost all of her hair & was deteriorating physically and emotionally 

Meet Abraham...

Abraham, an 11 year old boy whose mother died of AIDS and whose father is ill with the disease, is also HIV positive. In spite of his sad circumstances and due to support from a nonprofit benefactor, he was doing well living with the virus. When the benefactor could no longer provide funding, life for Abreham became terrible harsh, leaving him extremely malnourished alone and distraught. Now that he's enrolled in IGO's Sponsorship and Nurturing Program, Abreham has shown amazing signs of improvement and has regained his self-esteem. 

Miraculous Transformations

 Over 250 children are enrolled in IGO's Sponsorship & Nurturing program. Most of these children are HIV positive orphans who've lost their parents to AIDS.

 Velma Kirksey-Tarver ensures that each child is introduced to their sponsors via photo, during her annual trips to East Africa.

Some of her most memorable moments occur during the "Meet Your Sponsor" party. The excitement on the children's faces once they see the individual in America who's caring for them brings unspeakable joy!
