Child Sponsorship
Child Sponsorship

Covenant Development Association works with the community to provide physical sustainable solutions to break the cycle of poverty. We offer child sponsorship for up to 150 children in four project sites: Holeta, Ambo, Wolita, and Shone. Through the sponsorship, children have the ability to attend school, receive proper nourishment, a hope, and a future. 

CDA makes sure that they are given the basics of life to help them sustain their growth in all areas of life, and a social worker visits each child and his or her family on a consistent basis.

Under the sponsorship program, children are encouraged to excel in all areas of life. To enable them to go to school and further their education, each child receives clothing, a school uniform, and learning materials such as a notebook, pencil and pen. Alongside the physical support, the children are also taught life skills to provide a well- rounded understanding of their society and environment. Moreover, children are taught about HIV/AIDS, how to keep themselves healthy, and the importance and benefits- both physically and spiritually- of being sexually pure before marriage. Not only does the sponsorship program help the child, but also the family by providing them with monthly financial support to buy food for the family.

Sponsorship through Covenant Development Association is an orphan prevention program and we strive to keep families together.
