Over the years, we have found that “child sponsorship programs”, while well intentioned, are problematic in creating unhealthy expectations and dependency on foreign donors, taking  away the responsibility of raising children from their biological parents, and creating a “class structure” of “sponsored kids” and unsponsored kids within schools and communities, spawning jealousy, envy, and resentment between children and families of sponsored and unsponsored children.
 
As we relaunch Cornerstone Christian Academy, we are learning from past mistakes and pioneering a new way of partnering with impoverished families to provide excellent education for their needy children.

As as “Champion” you subscribe to a monthly donation of $30, $60, or $90, which funds go entirely to Cornerstone Academy to provide tuition for education, school requirements, uniforms and sports clothing, and 2 nutritious meals a day to EVERY child that attends the school. All children have ALL necessities. No children are disadvantaged because their parents are poorer. All parents are required to participate by partnering financially with the school and the Prayer Child Champions on a 30/70 basis. In addition, these funds provide for outreach and  intervention programs to the families of the children, including marriage classes, parenting classes, and spiritual growth and maturity through the church programs. As a “Champion”, while you support the school, the child, and the family, you are committing to  pray for the child, their family,  and their class,  and are invited to communicate with the prayer child through the school social worker. Special gifts to the children, while welcome, are not necessary.
