GLENKIRK GLOBAL SPONSORSHIP FOR IMPOVERISHED CHILDREN

We use our God-given resources to team with Christian organizations to provide food, shelter, education and skill-sets creating a good foundation for impoverished children. Our hope is that they will become contributing members to society and God's Kingdom.

Your contribution will enable the care giving organization to provide the orphaned, abandoned or special needs child with food, clothing, education, immunizations, housing and spiritual guidance. Every organization that we work with has been carefully considered and has mutually agreed upon the partnership arrangement and care for the children. Short -term (donor) mission trips are planned for each location on an annual or by-annual basis.

When you choose to sponsor a child in one of our four locations: Chinle-Arizona, Ecuador, India, or Kenya, we will provide you with a photograph and brief biography of that child.

Contact us to sponsor a child today!

AFRICA

PCEA Tumutumu Partnership – Kenya

Mahiga Dispensary Maternity Wing

Glenkirk Church in partnership with P.C.E.A. Tumutumu Hospital agreed to participate in the construction and completion of a Maternity Wing at the P.C.E.A. Mahiga Health Centre, Othaya, Kenya. This project was completed in 2008 and the celebration took place during the Glenkirk's mission trip to Kenya in June 2009.

Kiaruhiu Dispensary Maternity Wing

Glenkirk and an anonymous donor, in partnership with the Kiaruhiu Dispensary and Tumutumu Hospital, celebrated the completion of the maternity wing in January 2006. Young women living and having babies in this community can not afford $32.00, the cost to acquire a safe delivery at this maternity wing. Financial donations will make it possible for these women to have access to the maternity resources provided at Kiaruhiu Dispensary. Financial gifts welcome.

HIV/AIDS – PCEA Woman’s Guild – Education

Kenyan women visiting the Tumutumu, Kiaruhiu, and Othaya PCEA clinics are being educated about HIV/AIDS and how they can help to prevent future generations from being affected and infected with this virus. Financial gifts welcome.
