On Belay Ministries Inc

When children in sponsorship programs grow up, their sponsorship eventually ends. Young adults aging out of sponsorship programs are at great risk. Research shows these young adults, who lack a support system for transitioning to adulthood, are significantly more vulnerable to dangers such as hiv, prostitution, depression, suicide, alcohol and drug abuse, malnutrition, and death. Struggles for food and housing reduce their ability to complete their education. Unemployment impacts their ability to support themselves. We come alongside with financial support, local mentoring, accountability, spiritual guidance, education, and training through our training center, open door bible and skills training centre as these young adults leave their childhood sponsorships and move into post secondary education, careers, and independent adulthood.
