+ Where is the sponsorship program located?

The Child Sponsorship program is located in Tirana, Albania. Albania is a small country in Eastern Europe, set in the Balkans. The people of Albania are warm and hospitable, but it is also a country where there are many challenges and harsh poverty. The children in the program in Albania are Roma children and come from very vulnerable and sensitive environments. By sponsoring a child from Albania, you can truly make a life-changing difference for their future!

+What does my sponsorship provide for a child?

Your monthly donation of $35.00 will provide food, resources, medical care, life skills training, and discipleship for a child in need. We believe in the power of education and mentorship as a way for vulnerable children to break out of the cycle of poverty and every child in our program is required to be actively involved in a school and tutoring program that your monthly donations help to provide. You are the only sponsor for your specific child. It is important that you are faithful each month with your donation to provide them the resources their sponsorship allows.

+ How can I get to know my sponsor child?

You will be able to build a relationship with your child through updates, quarterly written correspondence, and intentional visits. We have made it very easy for you to “stay in touch” with your sponsor child. You can write to them through our email platform and one of the translators will take your letter and translate it and read it to your child. In your correspondence, you can let them know about you and ask them a little about themselves as well. Over time you will have the opportunity to build a life-long friendship with your sponsor child. You are also welcome to our program in Albania and meet your sponsor child. If this is something you would like to do, please contact us for more information.

+ What happens to my sponsored child when he or she turns 18?

One of the values that Epos International has is in working together for a holistic program for these children. We are partnered with programs that will continue to provide mentorship, discipleship, education, and life skills once your child turns 18. You will have an opportunity at that time to continue your sponsorship if you would like to help provide tuition and supply fees for their continued education and growth.
