Sponsorship, explained.
How much does sponsorship cost?
$35 a month is the standard sponsorship amount — it covers food, school, healthcare, and a Christian home for one child. You can give more, and that surplus is applied to children whose sponsors couldn't make their gift this month.
What happens if I cancel?
You can cancel any time from the link in any email we send you. We'll let the child's home know and find another sponsor as soon as we can. There's no fee, no awkward call, no judgment.
Can I sponsor more than one child?
Yes. Some sponsors take on a second child after the first year. Email us if you'd like to discuss it — we'll match you with a child whose situation fits your capacity.
Can I write to my child?
Two-way correspondence is on the Phase 3 roadmap. For now, you receive quarterly updates with photos and an annual letter. We'll add a write-back system once we can do it safely with adequate child-safeguarding review.
What if my child ages out of the home?
Children typically remain in care until they finish secondary school or reach 18, whichever is later. When a child graduates from the home, your sponsorship is honoured by being redirected to another child with your consent.
Is my donation tax-deductible?
Kenyan donors: yes, JH is a registered CBO. Non-Kenyan donors: not yet — JH does not currently have a 501(c)(3) fiscal sponsor in the US or registered-charity status in the UK or EU. We're working on it.
What currency can I pay in?
USD, EUR, GBP, KES, CAD, AUD. The donate flow auto-detects your country and shows the equivalent in Kenyan shillings at the gateway rate at the time of your gift.
How often will I hear from you?
An immediate welcome packet, a day-7 home spotlight, a day-30 first impact note, then a quarterly photo + update plus an annual letter. Six to ten emails a year. Unsubscribe with one click.
