Support a Child

Take a leap of faith this year! Consider opening your heart and sponsor a Child/ Youth from AFNA’s Adopt-
A-Child Program. You may sponsor an individual Child, or many Children! A sponsorship of $100 covers the
child’s expenses for a year. Your sponsorship may be for a year, or for every year until the child graduates
from school and college. You may guide and mentor the child throughout his/her developing years… You
can make a huge difference and impact a life for the better. You may do so on your own, or through
volunteers at AFNA. Nevertheless, your sponsorship would be connected with a Child and his/her progressed
monitored via feedback from volunteers. Your support would provide the child a place to live, three meals a day,
school expenses and ABOVE ALL encouragement, guidance and love you and your family will experience with your
new sponsored child!
It is a noble and charitable experience—impacting another child and expanding your world of influence! With your
permission, your sponsorship may be published at AFNA’S publications or your donation may remain anonymous.
