When you sponsor a child for $35 each month through A New Song International, you provide tangible solutions to these children’s most pressing needs such as clean water, food, shelter, care, and an education as well as an opportunity for these children to be discipled to be followers of Jesus Christ. Sponsorship through A New Song International restores hope in each sponsored child’s life as they come to understand the love of Christ and that someone not only sees them but loves them enough to provide for their most basic needs.
Orphan Status Explanation
The word "orphan" has been used differently by various organizations. Our definition has taken the biblical truth of what it means to be an orphan or fatherless into account along with the most prevalent definitions used by organizations like UNICEF and Christian Alliance for Orphans to accurately convey each child's circumstances as accurately as possible.

Double Orphan - Both mother and father have died.
