Become an Open Arms Partner Parent by sponsoring a child through Open Arms International (OAI), a non-profit charity organization.
1. Sponsor an individual child for $55 per month. 2. Sponsor a portion of the street children feeding program for $30 per month. 3. Sponsor a child in a family to get an education for $30 per month.
Sponsoring a child is a very serious commitment. If you choose to sponsor an individual child for $55 per month, you are committing to be a sponsor for the life of that child (until age 18 or 19). If you cannot make a serious commitment, consider sponsoring a street child through our feeding program or sponsoring a child in a family to get an education.
Open Arms International is an international humanitarian relief and development organization dedicated to raising children in Africa and India orphaned by AIDS, civil warfare, disease or other tragedy to reach their full potential. OAI also works with families and their communities ravaged by poverty, disease and injustice so that they might have hope for a brighter future. OAI serves all people, regardless of religion, race, ethnicity, tribe or gender. OAI was founded in 2003 and is headquartered in Portland, Oregon with affiliate offices in Manchester, England and Eldoret, Kenya. The organization currently serves in Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, Mozambique and India.
Our mission is to provide relief from physical, emotional, and spiritual suffering through medical expertise and Christian ministry.

All children are our future. They all deserve our love. Join us to feed, teach, protect, and nurture children in America and around the world.In keeping families together, we have avoided the placement of children into foster situations. In keeping families together, we have provided a safe, loving, nurturing environment that has already existed. Parents become more happy when they are self sufficient and are able to earn the income they need to raise the standard of living for their family.
Childrens Wish list Foundation doesn’t claim to be the biggest wish granting organization, just to be the best. The services and personal attention that we provide our families are unsurpassed and our Wish Families praise us daily for our professionalism, attention to each detail of their child’s wish, and the extra mile we always go for our families. We know, however, that all of these efforts would be impossible without the support of individuals and corporations that choose to contribute to CWLF. We make it easy for our donors to give in many ways.
