1. Free A Family® the alternative to child sponsorship.

2. Why have an “alternative”?

3. For one reason only:

4. To help as many families as possible.

6. Your gift helps families and communities

8. in one of four regions where the Christian Reformed World Relief Committee (CRWRC) works:

9. Latin America East and Southern Africa West Africa Asia

10. In each of these regions, CRWRC staff have chosen one family involved in CRWRC programs to represent all participating families

12. Many sponsorship programs require large amounts of time and resources to match each donor to a specific child.

13. By reporting on only one family in each region, our staff can use more of their time – and more of your donation – for programs that directly help people in need instead of for administration costs.

15. More people get more of the money you give

16. to learn how to read and write

18. start a small business

21. care for HIV and AIDS orphans in their community

23. learn new farming skills to grow food and ensure food security

25. build wells and installing pumps for clean water

27. and to help church communities grow and support one another

28. all in Jesus’ name.

29. When you sign up for Free A Family, you’ll receive a colour postcard with a photo and profile of the family from your chosen region

30. followed by quarterly updates about the family’s joys, sorrows, hopes, and dreams as they work for change in their lives.

31. You’ll be giving real help to real people.
