CCI’s Child Sponsorship Program is an ongoing, monthly commitment of $30.00 a month to aid in meeting a child’s physical, emotional, spiritual, and educational needs.

After you subscribe for the child's sponsorship, a photo with his/her profile will be sent to you.  Twice a year (Summer and  Christmas) Humanitarian Aid staff visits Guatemala to video and photograph the children.  A DVD and photos of the child are sent to the sponsor family with any current information.

Correspondence between you and your sponsored child is highly encouraged.  We will help in translating your letters.  They can be send by e-mail or regular mail.

Please see the Sponsorship Facts Page for more information on the program.

Celebrate Children International is currently working with three different Orphanages in Guatemala.  Please click below for the children's available in each Orphanage:

 

Orphanage #1 - Click to Visit

This is one of the largest programs we support in Guatemala, caring for 250 children in Guatemala City alone. Sharing our vision to reach the lost for Christ, this organization gives everything they have to providing the vast needs of orphaned children. CCI recently delivered a shipping container filled with a variety of items including: washing machines, clothing, school supplies, computers, tables/chairs, toiletries, cleaning supplies, office supplies, books, shoes, kitchen items, and much more. The missionaries of this orphanage were extremely grateful and pleased with all that they received.

This orphanage is currently building a compound they have called the Children’s City. This will house several of their children’s homes as well as their school, Activity Center, Library, laundry facility, and offices. CCI has been working with them to help provide needed items to finish these projects.  

This is a picture of the older children coming together to worship in the Multi-purpose Center located in the Children's City.

Orphanage #2 - Click to Visit


It is always a true pleasure to visit this orphanage. The children are a pure delight and we are always glad to see the Director. This orphanage has undergone several changes over the last year and the results are so encouraging! CCI continues to sell coffee and note cards to assist them in covering their operating expenses. (Please see our Mayan Hope Shop to purchase any of these items.) During our last visit we were able to provide 6 computers for the orphanage, clothing, and financial donations. In May, CCI paid for the cost of a full time teacher to “home school” 8 of the children living in the orphanage. They are in the process of creating a Montessori teaching center as well as supplying a library for the children on the premises. 

This shows partial view of the orphanage, with the main dinning room and kitchen in the middle and the boy's home in the two yellow buildings.

Friends for Life:

Mission trip volunteers formed bonds with many of the children at the orphanages. Because of this newly found love, they felt compelled to sponsor these children so their friendship can be for life.
