Looking for a cause for your youth group, class or..well…family?
The Christian Foundation for Children and Aging is one of the more well-regarded sponsorship organizations out there, and one of the newer way  of helping those in need around the world is youth-focused.
Walk With the Poor links young people who need financial assistance in completing their educations with those who can give that help.

Visitors to the site can choose one of two ways to help students with school costs. They can sponsor a specific student, either individually or with a group of their friends, and contribute the amount necessary for the student to finish his or her education. They also commit to writing to the student to offer their support. Or, they can contribute an amount of their choice to CFCA’s scholarship program, which provides scholarships to deserving students selected by CFCA projects overseas.

The site offers ideas for fundraising as well as ways to help that entail no financial commitment. Students can be a prayer partner, add their name to the movement to show their solidarity with youth in other countries, or join the Walk with the Poor Facebook group. Students will also pick up tips on how to learn more about poverty.

“In a world that is complex and confusing, there is a simple path into one another’s hearts where we can face the complexity together and take steps that create a community of service and compassion,” said Wertin. “We can discover together how to empower one another and live in solidarity, interconnected and free to live out the call of God in our lives.”
