Christian Foundation for Children and Aging

CFCA’s mission is to walk with the poor and marginalized of the world. They provide personal attention and direct benefits to children, youth, aging and their families so they may live with dignity, achieve their desired potential and participate fully in society.They invite people of good will to live in daily solidarity with the world’s poor through one-to-one sponsorship. They build community by fostering relationships of mutual respect, understanding and support that are culturally diverse, empowering and without religious or other prejudice.

Founded in 1981, the CFCA worldwide community now includes more than 310,000 sponsored children, youth and aging friends in 25 countries; more than 275,000 sponsors; a board of directors; U.S. and overseas staff; partners; and U.S. and overseas volunteers. CFCA sponsorship is distinguished by personal attention and outreach to each sponsored person and family, and by a commitment to honoring the God-given dignity of each person. Helping those sponsored to live with dignity means to invite them to be authors of their own development and participate fully in their communities.

The heart of sponsorship is the relationship that is formed between a sponsor and child or elderly person. Through a sponsorship commitment of $30 monthly, a donor can choose to help a young girl or boy, a teenager, an elderly woman or man, or a person with special needs. CFCA is a force of love in a hurting world.
