BOOTS ON THE GROUND has partnered with a number of well established schools in developing countries like Haiti to help provide for basic needs of children like the ones pictured above. If you sponsor a child, your love and generosity for that little boy or girl in need will help provide basics like food, clean water, and education. All of the things that we take for granted in the West every single day.

“When I met the young mother and her child at the clinic, my heart just sank.” Says James, reflecting on the last visit he made to Haiti. “The baby was malnourished when members of the team first met the family and the mother was very concerned.” He says.

Like so many other families in Haiti, this young mother and her husband aren’t able to provide for the little boy they so dearly love.

“I am worried about my son,” the mother said. “He is becoming weaker and weaker every day, and I do not have enough food to give him. I fear that he could die if we don’t get any help.”

This is a harsh reality for millions of people all over the world. Haiti, for example, has over 80% unemployment and now nearly two-million displaced people living in camps in Port-au-Prince alone. The country was poor before the earthquake hit, now it’s even worse off. Now, tens of thousands of children have become orphaned. You can make a difference.

Donate now to help provide life-saving food and care to children and families suffering from hunger and malnutrition. Your gift will multiply the impact we have in the lives of children and families who are in greatest need. We know that you are inundated by images like these every day on television, and it’s very easy to ignore them and turn the channel. But you’re here now, reading this page, so we want to encourage you to choose to do something right now. Don’t wait, don’t think about it — just do what’s right. Act now.

Sponsorship Options:

• You can sponsor one child for a year by committing only $20 a month.
• To provide a bit more for the child, you can commit $35 a month and some of that will go to the school above and beyond the normal fees to help defray costs such as administration and salary.
• You can sponsor the school directly by committing $50 a month, which goes towards the operating expenses, staff salaries, books, to pay for a cook, groundskeepers/security, and so on.
• Or, you can offer a one-time gift of any amount toward educating children and providing for the operating expenses of a school or for sponsoring multiple children.
• We also accept cash, stocks, real property, vehicles, boats, and other such gifts can be liquidated and dedicated to paying for important programs like this. We can even build an entire school in your name or in the name of someone dear to you who has passed; what more of a fitting memory for someone then to educate generations of children in need.

Things covered with your gift:

• Building costs, fuel to run generators, clean water
• Salaries for teachers, cooks, guards/groundskeepers
• Books, uniforms, school supplies
• Hot meals for the children each school day
• Medical needs are provided for where possible
