CCI’s Child Sponsorship Program is an ongoing, monthly commitment of $30.00 a month to aid in meeting a child’s physical, emotional, spiritual, and educational needs.
After you subscribe for the child's sponsorship, a photo with his/her profile will be sent to you. Twice a year (Summer and Christmas) Humanitarian Aid staff visits Guatemala to video and photograph the children. A DVD and photos of the child are sent to the sponsor family with any current information.
Correspondence between you and your sponsored child is highly encouraged. We will help in translating your letters. They can be send by e-mail or regular mail.
Please see the Sponsorship Facts Page for more information on the program.
Celebrate Children International is currently working with three different Orphanags in Guatemala. Please click below for the children's available in each Orphanage:
Orphanage #1 - Click to Visit
This is one of the largest programs we support in Guatemala, caring for 250 children in Guatemala City alone. Sharing our vision to reach the lost for Christ, this organization gives everything they have to providing the vast needs of orphaned children. CCI recently delivered a shipping container filled with a variety of items including: washing machines, clothing, school supplies, computers, tables/chairs, toiletries, cleaning supplies, office supplies, books, shoes, kitchen items, and much more. The missionaries of this orphanage were extremely grateful and pleased with all that they received.
This orphanage is currently building a compound they have called the Children’s City. This will house several of their children’s homes as well as their school, Activity Center, Library, laundry facility, and offices. CCI has been working with them to help provide needed items to finish these projects. Please scroll down and see a couple of photos of the orphanage
Orphanage #2 - Click to Visit
It is always a true pleasure to visit this orphanage. The children are a pure delight and we are always glad to see the Director. This orphanage has undergone several changes over the last year and the results are so encouraging! CCI continues to sell coffee and note cards to assist them in covering their operating expenses. (Please see our Mayan Hope Shop to purchase any of these items.) During our last visit we were able to provide 6 computers for the orphanage, clothing, and financial donations. In May, CCI paid for the cost of a full time teacher to “home school” 8 of the children living in the orphanage. They are in the process of creating a Montesorri teaching center as well as supplying a library for the children on the premises. Please scroll down and see a couple of photos of the orphanage.
Orphanage #3 - Click to Visit
The founders and Directors of this orphanage were sent to Guatemala as missionaries in 1989 from Immanuel's Church in Maryland. They are now full time residents of Guatemala. The orphanage is a legal Association in Guatemala governed by a Board of Directors composed of both Guatemalans and North Americans
Nearly 400 children have been cared for since its beginning in 1990. Some
placements are short-term, others indefinite. The amount of children at one time fluctuate averaging about 50 children, ranging in age from infancy to 17 years old..
This orphanage take children with "special" needs. They provide food, clothing, medical and dental care, education, recreation, and (most importantly) spiritual training. Many of the children come from severely abusive situations. Some have deep emotional scars. Please scroll down and see a couple of photos of the orphanage.
