Their children are born into poverty…and the cycle continues. With your support, Angel’s Foundation aims to put an end to generational poverty with a long-term, customized program that stays with children through the first two decades of their lives.
Poverty negatively impacts brain development and well-being
Children and youth growing up in poverty typically lack proper health care and nutrition. They’re also more likely to be exposed to the stress of domestic violence, gangs and drugs. All of this can impair brain development, negatively impacting long-term physical and mental well-being.
Angel’s Foundation contributors invest in the lives of children, helping them get the education, life skills and confidence they need to break free from poverty. The force of their combined efforts starts a powerful multiplier effect that empowers children and youth to change their own lives and futures, transforming their families and communities too.
We don’t believe in taking a one-size-fits-all approach to helping children. What’s best for a 6-year-old in Zambia is far different than what a 14-year-old in Honduras needs. It’s an approach we call contextualization, which means our programs adapt and change with children’s needs at different ages, matched with the most urgent needs and available services in their communities.
Our programs focus on four key outcomes
Your sponsorship helps children in our communities by providing health programs that focus on two important outcomes:
- Developing healthy habits
- Connecting children with services when they need help.
Through your sponsorship, you help break down the barriers that keep children from kindergarten through high school from getting a good education, including tutoring programs, scholarships, learning spaces, computer training and more.
We believe confidence grows as children develop leadership skills, understand social responsibility and take active roles in their communities. Your contribution supports empowerment programs that are specifically designed to teach the value of teamwork and encourage children to make an impact that lasts..
As a sponsor, you support employment programs that help youth:
- Develop job skills
- Find and interview for employment
- Learn the life skills necessary to be a good employee
- Connect with local employers.
This assistance paves the way to a future filled with opportunities they never thought possible.
Measuring the impact
We work with a trusted, independent evaluation organization to measure the impact of our programs, including important metrics such as:
- Improved availability to health services
- Increased school enrollment & completion
- Strengthened competency of essential life skills
- Enhanced, marketable job skills
We know it’s critical to measure results. That’s how we ensure that your contributions — and the efforts of our staff in the field — are truly making a difference.
