Child Sponsorship
Sponsorship is the foundation of our model, and it creates a very special connection between our children and their sponsors. Sponsorship is a long term commitment of at least 1 year, and every single sponsorship dollar goes directly and exclusively towards the support of the sponsored child. Sponsors receive regular updates and photos of their child, as well as general village updates.
Sponsorship is $265/month for a school age child, and $240/month for a non-school age child.
Sponsorship brings just as much joy to those who sponsor as it does to the sponsored child.
If you are interested in sponsorship, please reach out using the button below. We look forward to hearing from you!
Specialized Learning Center
With our focus on children with special needs, the need to build a specialized learning center has emerged. This center will teach vocational skills, life skills, and offer other relevant paths for children who are not on an academic path and need alternative options for a bright future as contributing members of their community.
Our fundraising goal for this project is $60,565 USD. This covers all construction and labor costs, as well as setting up the center with the equipment and curriculum that it will need.
It will also be open to the families in our Family Sponsorship Program, for their children.
If you would like to contribute to this project, please use the button below. These buttons do use PayPal to process donations; if you would prefer to pay using another method, please reach out to us at sarah@uryadisvillage.org and we would be happy to find an option that works for you!
Accessibility Paths
It is of paramount importance that every child in our village is able to easily access every part of the village. We are currently fundraising to pay for accessibility paths that will ensure that every child can enjoy ALL of the village.
Our goal for this fundraiser is $8,000 USD.
If you would like to donate to help fund our accessibility paths, please use the button below to donate.
