Answer 2

there are lots of ways. I suggest 'funding' families by providing them mini loans which will help with a variety of projects, jobs, etc. They pay you back (99% of the time) and you can reinvest that money to help another family. It also can give you the background and issue for which the money is needed...see here:

Another ORG. is Heifer International, which provides a variety of animals that help a family or even a small group of families to receive meals or milk. See here for that one:

Answer 3

www.risingfountains.org

You can email Mathias Zimba (director) and he will match you up with a family that you can correspond/sponsor. Tell him maria sent you...

Answer 4

I suggest looking into world vision. www.worldvision.org

You sponsor a child and get to send them letters & stickers. This is a Christian organization.

I also know of a compassion ministry but don't know for sure the link.

Good Luck!
