You can sponsor an child for $34 a month. The sponsorship money Mission 1:27 sends is managed by Children’s HopeChest, and is used to support the entire orphanage. This way each child benefits from our support and no child is left out.

The money goes to provide a better quality of life for the children, provide for disciplers who go and visit the orphanage regularly and provide a Christian presence, and the resources necessary to operate this ministry in Russia.

Here are just a few of the ways donation funds are spent.

• Updating and improving medical facilities at the orphanage
• Field trips to help the children learn about life in the real world
• Clothing and school supplies
• Sports equipment
• Craft supplies
• Salaries and supplies for the two disciplers who work with the children on a weekly basis.

At the end of each year, children graduate from the orphanage. They then receive a crash course in life skills (how to open a bank account and manage their money, how to use a telephone, basic safety rules, etc.) and several gifts, including a wool blanket, a teapot and a casserole dish, which will help them as they leave the orphanage to start their lives alone in the world.

Children’s HopeChest does keep up with some students after graduation, but for many, this is all the help they will receive. In future, we hope to make further contact and more significant life skills training possible.
