Change a Life: Sponsor a Child

The formative years of far too many Colombian children are characterized more by a struggle to survive than by joy. In response to the many risks that these children and youth face, Conviventia operates a network of low-fee, purpose-driven Christian schools that currently serve more than 2,500 students in vulnerable communities. You can ensure the education of one child for only $36 a month or $432 a year.

How the Friends of Hope Program Works

When you decide to sponsor a child in the Friends of Hope program, you can sign up through our online giving platform here. The platform will securely process your payment information and give you the opportunity to share your preferences regarding the age, location, etc. of the child who will be assigned to you.

Once you finish this process, someone on our team will assign a child to you, and you will receive the profile and picture of your student (plus our welcome packet) within seven days, but often sooner. You will then have the option to write your student a letter so that he or she knows who you are and that you are sponsoring them.

You will receive 5-6 reports and letters from your student and their school each year you participate in the program. That way, you can know how your student is doing all year long.

What Makes the Friends of
Hope Program Special

All the students in our Friends of Hope program either attend one of Conviventia's God is Love schools or benefit from the Conviventia-led School Support program. When you sponsor one of these students, you can be sure that they are receiving a quality, accredited education; spiritual guidance; and benefits from Conviventia's other programs if they or their family need them––including our School Health Plan, parenting courses, family crisis intervention, and even job skills training for their parents (where available).

A Joyful Journey of Sponsorship:
Walking with Anita

Being a sponsor through Conviventia has been one of the greatest privileges of my life. Journeying alongside Anita—sharing in her joys and sorrows, cheering on her accomplishments both personally and academically—has brought immeasurable blessings to my own heart.

I'll never forget the first time we met in person. I was introduced to a young girl full of hope, big dreams, and a deep desire to support her parents and bring positive change to her community. Her determination and warmth left a lasting mark on me.

It fills me with joy to know that, in some small way, I've had the honor of being part of her story. Just a grain of sand in the foundation of her holistic education—but one that connects us through faith, purpose, and the transformative power of love in action.
