Examples Of Steps• Government of Honduras contacts
Sociedad, with knowledge of an abused 2 year old child
• The child is rescued, and Sociedad takes over legal and moral guardianship for the child until they are an adult– Sociedad/FoHC goal is to remove the child from
harms way (typically a severely dis-functional situation) and help the child to grow into a fully functioning adult helping to break the cycle of extreme poverty

Examples Of Steps
• Most other child sponsorship programs (e.g. World Vision) send the $30 per month donation to the village where the sponsored child lives
• Our program is different. We take physical and full financial responsibility for the child when they enter our program

Our Program
• It costs us about $120 US dollars per month to cover the full cost of raising a child
• That is why our program requires 4 sponsors of $30 per month to cover the cost of raising one child

Our Current Strategic Activities
• Complete the site plan for Nuevo Paraiso– We know where the next 15 orphanages are going
• Revising the layout for our new orphanage buildings– Each home is designed to hold 12 children
• Improving our project documentation process for building future orphanages
11
New Buildings & Child Sponsors
• Each new orphanage (holds 12 children) costs about $35,000 USD to build, paint and furnish
• It takes 4 sponsors for each child, so when we open a new building we require 48 new sponsors
