The School

Sponsoring a student is easier then you think. For only $25 per month -- about the cost of a weekly trip to Starbucks -- you can make a significant impact in the lives of our students and open opportunities for them that only an education can provide.  Sponsorship is as easy as 1-2-3.

1.  Choose your Sponsor Child.  If you haven't already picked up a Child Sponsorship Packet from your church, school or organization, you can select a child pictured below, writing their name in the Sponsor Child field on your online registration.  Once we receive your sponsorship registration, your child's picture will be removed from the website and replaced with another child in need of a sponsor.

2.  Complete your Online Sponsorship Registration. Once we have your name, address, phone number, e-mail address and Sponsor Child's name, we will mail you their Child Sponsorship Packet.  This packet includes a framed picture of your child, information about their village and school, directions on how to begin giving and how you can communicate with your child.  Click here to begin your child sponsorship registration.

3.  Choose your Preferred Giving Method. You can begin sponsoring your child right away through our easy online PAYPAL option, which sets up a recurring sponsorship subscription for you.  We also have ACH Authorization Forms, which allow ODH to set up a recurring sponsorship payment with your bank.  Included in your Child Sponsorship Packet is a giving envelope if you prefer to give by check.

FAQ for Sponsoring Our Students:

What does my $25 a month go toward?

If I miss a monthly contribution, will the children still get educated and fed?

Does Open Door have other ministries besides the School?

What if I am no longer able to continue with my school sponsorship commitment?

How is Open Door able to operate for so much less than other sponsorship programs?

What does my $25 a month go toward?

Your $25 monthly sponsorship contribution pays for your child's school tuition, books and daily school lunch.  It also gives them access to Open Door Medical Clinic for annual medical and dental check-ups and any related medical care that they require.

If I miss a monthly contribution, will the children still get educated and fed?

Currently only 35% of the children that attend Open Door School are sponsored.  Through the generosity of ministry donors and a partnership with Feeding Children Everywhere, we are able to keep all of our children in school.

If you miss a monthly commitment, please do fulfill your sponsorship obligation as soon as possible, since we base our budget on these pledges.

Does Open Door have other ministries besides the School?

Yes. Open Door has a diverse array of ministries in Haiti that spread the Good News of Jesus Christ. Our quarterly newsletter will keep you informed and up to date on what God is doing through the ministry.

What if I am no longer able to continue with my school sponsorship commitment?

Please notify us as soon as possible so that we are able to find another sponsor who can meet the needs of your sponsor child.

How is Open Door able to operate for so much less than other sponsorship programs?

At this point, additional funding is coming in from other sources to supplement the ministry at Open Door. While all children at Open Door School have access to medical care through Open Door Clinic, the clinic’s funding is not included in your $25 per month contribution. Parents are responsible for their child's school uniform, shoes and backpack, though these items are often donated to the ministry and distributed to the neediest of families. Support is raised separately to cover staff salaries and expenses of Open Door Haiti in the US. All of these efforts significantly defray the cost of our school sponsorship program.
