Give Hope, Save Lives
Your generosity provides protection from poverty & child trafficking, empowerment towards self-sufficient and meaningful futures, and shares the love of Christ! Every dollar makes a difference.
Tangible Love Through Sponsorship
Just $38 a month creates a lifelong bond, provides a simple and powerful way to lift a child out of the ditches of life and place them on the right path!
You have the power to place a child on the right path through volunteering, advocating, or fundraising. Every loving action you take starts a child’s journey to self-sufficiency and meaning.
We didn't grasp the true impact of child sponsorship and how $38 makes a difference. After receiving our first update, we were overwhelmed with emotion. He gained weight! Ronnie was clean! He was interacting with others for the first time! As parents ourselves, Ronnie's story resonates deeply, reminding us that every child deserves love and support.
Ben and I first met Lonjezo in May 2021. It’s been a joy to know him and see his growth. Supporting T2S was an obvious next step—we trusted FCW to connect him with the right trade school and support. FCW is committed to holistic programs that empower young people—for their communities, the world, and the kingdom of God.
I serve as a social worker for FCW. My Favorite aspect about my job is being able to empower others by making a difference in the lives of the children, families and communities we serve. I have witnessed transformations in children and families as a result of FCW's various programs. My most memorable experience is the children's delight, enthusiasm, and smiles when we tell them that they've been chosen for sponsorship.
My recent trip to Uganda brought me not only across time zones and cultures but also through a deep shift in my perspective. The trip with FCW encompassed many experiences that I pray to carry with me for the rest of my life.

From Abandonment to Belonging
Shiva
"My name is Shiva. As an infant, my birth father sold me for gold and money, and I later discovered that my adoptive family wasn’t my real family. Abandoned and searching for belonging, I found hope through FCW's partner orphan home, where I learned that while people had forsaken me, God never would—He bought me with His own life, and in Him, I am loved, accepted, and have a future."
