Whenever possible and deemed safe for the child, we believe in helping to keep the family unit together. Through sponsorship we are able to provide the child with an education, a monthly food distribution, medical assistance, and the knowledge of Jesus Christ with the opportunity to accept Him into their life. Oftentimes we observe that the child ends up teaching their family members they live with about Jesus and the whole family is then transformed. Under this "Hope for the Village" umbrella, we have a preschool (Firm Foundation Preschool) in a remote village where there is no other safe place for young children while their parents are working in their fields during the day. In Better Hands also provides hostel homes in different countries, for children that desire an education but live in such remote locations, school is not an option without living during the school year in a hostel.
