Sponsorship’s Impact on Child and Sponsor
Have you considered the relational impact of child sponsorship on both the child and the sponsor? At Food for the Hungry (FH), we believe the life-changing impact of child sponsorship goes both ways! Sponsorship is an act of faith. When you sponsor a child, you sign up to make a big difference in that child’s life and their entire community. In return, you will know that God is using you to remind vulnerable families that they are valued and special to Him!
As a sponsor, you receive regular updates from us about the impact of your sponsorship. Our staff around the world work hard to share these special reminders of how you are changing lives across the globe. Truly, seeing that impact is inspiring!
We encourage all sponsors to write letters and share about your life too! Perhaps you’ve experienced the joy of receiving mail with a note or drawing from your sponsored child. This is the best way for you to get to know your sponsored child! And one way for you to see the impact of your sponsorship.
We know most sponsors won’t ever get to visit their sponsored child’s community. Because of that, we wanted to share the story of one sponsor family who took a trip to see the impact of their sponsorship first-hand.
Meet the Bauchiero Family

In the video below, we hope you’ll take time to watch the Bauchiero family make the trek from Tennessee, USA to Peru to visit their sponsored child, Moises. As they visit Moises, you can imagine the life-changing difference that your sponsorship could have on the life of a different child!
The Bauchieros are a family just like yours, with a passion for helping others. Ryan and Kerry Bauchiero wanted to teach their children Tommy and Callie about the joy of connecting with others. “They get really excited when letters come in the mail, they like to read over those and compare their life with his life,” Kerry says. “There’s actually a lot of similarities, which is really cool for them to see.”

Food for the Hungry is dedicated to ending poverty around the globe with the help of sponsors like you. Please prayerfully consider sponsoring a child, and be part of a life-long transformation!
