The Christian Relief Fund also facilitates family sponsorship in which a needy family receives staple food items,   medicines, nutritional and hygiene education, job training, self-help programs and Bible teaching. You can sponsor a family for only $25.00 a month! The Family Sponsorship is different from the Child Sponsorship program because it is short term and the goal is to educate the families so they will be able to maintain a reasonable standard of living in their own country. Since the program is short term, a sponsor may help many different families in a year although the sponsor does not receive information about the families they help. The Christian Relief Fund facilitates Family Sponsorship in 5 third world countries, including Honduras, Panama, Guatemala, Nicaragua, and Dominican Republic.
