Frequently Asked Question

What is shared Sponsorship?

You or your group concentrates on Orphan and Widow Care. In this case, Foundation for Young Orphans will work with partners to find the funds to build a new home or upgrade an existing home. With our partners, FYO supports the initial infrastructure at least until the home is able to support a full 8 children. Once children are brought in, you or your group step in. What the Lord wants is people caring for people. It is discipleship, not sponsorship. It quickly becomes a situation where your life is changed through the lives you change.

Multiple families might join each other to serve as a caring group for a Home in Uganda . The cost ranges from $1200 to $1800 per month. Short term trips for small projects would help cement the relationship and allow for special projects like concrete pads for play areas, lighting, screens for windows and doors, agriculture projects, inoculations, English lessons, training in worship, sewing, and others.
