Isaiah 61:1-4

1 The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me,
because the LORD has anointed me
to preach good news to the poor.
He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,
to proclaim freedom for the captives
and release from darkness for the prisoners,

2 to proclaim the year of the LORD’s favor
and the day of vengeance of our God,
to comfort all who mourn,

3 and provide for those who grieve in Zion—
to bestow on them a crown of beauty
instead of ashes,
the oil of gladness
instead of mourning,
and a garment of praise
instead of a spirit of despair.
They will be called oaks of righteousness,
a planting of the LORD
for the display of his splendor.

4 They will rebuild the ancient ruins
and restore the places long devastated;
they will renew the ruined cities
that have been devastated for generations.

Currently we restrict the total number of sponsors per child to a maximum of five.  At $35 each, that totals $175 potential sponsorship dollars per child.  Some people choose to be “double sponsors” of the same child, committing $70 per month, and so the actual number of sponsors per child can vary.

Once a child is fully sponsored, the five main categories used to describe their support are fully operational.  Of course, we will not allow any child to go without a specific need and we trust God to provide in creative ways!  We strive for excellence without opulence in every area including good nutrition, a quality education, Godly parenting, and the best health care available.

We would like to note that “Higher Education” is a savings fund that will enable Mattaw children to pursue skilled training, undergraduate, and possibly graduate degrees in the near future.  As we believe we are raising future leaders we must be positioned to provide the best preparation for each one. This further reflects our long-term commitment to the children beyond traditional orphanage parameters.

The “Administration support” fund currently provides the Children’s Village with the regular services of a Kenyan Social Worker.  It also helps to fund the services of a Financial Administrator in the U.S.
