When you SPONSOR a child at EGO, your donation helps provide food, shelter, clothing, medical help, childcare, and Christian education.

EGO exists on the kindness of individual donors and does not receive money from any government or program. So your generosity is appreciated! You may give any amount in any time frame, but we suggest:

$20 a month sponsors a child’s (3-17 yrs) school tuition

$35 a month sponsor’s a child’s supervision and childcare.

$40 a month sponsors a child’s food and hygiene needs.

$75 a month sponsors an infant’s formula and hygiene needs.

$100 a month sponsors all the other incidentals. Some things that are need every month and others that are needed every few months or once a year.  These may include: shoes, clothing, transportation, vocational training supplies, dormitory maintenance, legal/court fees, and utilities.  

$116 a month sponsors housing, school tuition, and allowance for a young adult who has aged out of EGO  (is over 18) and is still furthering their education.

$200 a month sponsors a child’s complete needs!

In Haiti, baby formula is very expensive. Since there are always several babies being raised at EGO, there is great need for formula and diapers. We are grateful for your extra monthly donations which help with supplies and childcare expenses for the babies!

Sponsoring a child makes it possible for the orphanage to care for the children, but also helps provide jobs for Haitians in Dessalines. EGO employs Haitian school teachers, construction workers at the school, cooks and kitchen helpers who feed hundreds of people daily, as well as supplies for construction projects and maintenance of orphanage buildings and farmland.

Praying for your sponsored child is crucial! It helps bring you closer to them as you pray for their health, spiritual growth, academic achievement, safety and emotional development. Prayer is the greatest blessing you can offer.

All sponsors receive a picture of their sponsored child, and updates throughout the year. You may also receive a quarterly newsletter via email. If you're on Facebook, please check the EGO page for the latest news, prayer requests, celebrations and updated photos.

The babies and little ones cannot write letters to their sponsors. However, sponsors of teenagers will receive a hand-written letter from them, once or twice a year as possible. Please remember that EGO’s staff is working hard to care for the children, so there is no capacity, at present, to translate and keep up with Sponsor’s correspondence.

Our goal is that each child would eventually have enough sponsors to cover the average $200 a month that is costs to care for each child. 

The children at EGO have lost one or both of their parents. Women’s mortality rate during childbirth in Haiti is still very high, and there is not sufficient medical care. Even though it’s a difficult choice for a father to make, it is a loving choice he makes to secure the survival of his newborn after the loss of his wife.
