Long Distance Support

[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_column_text]Why are we against the term ‘adoption’?

The children helped are not all orphans, they have parents who do not like the term “adopted”.

Why is it useless to help a child out of a cooperation program?

Having books and clothes is nice if your siblings and classmates can have them too[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_column_text]

Long Distance Sponsorship

 

Long Distance Support aims to ensure a better future for children in developing countries through a voluntary donation by an individual or a group (schools, parishes, companies, etc.).

The term “support” is used instead of “adoption” because:

  • Preference is given to helping a group of children or a project rather than a sinbgle child to avoid inequalities within the same groups or communities.
  • The relationship between the Donor and the Child is a relationship that does not involve any constraints, other than moral and emotional ones, between child and supporter.

     

Long Distance Support does not create any legal constraints[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_tabs interval=”0″][vc_tab title=”Recipients:” tab_id=”1399551989-1-35″][vc_column_text]

There are three types of Long Distance Support’s projects: You can support:

  1. Directly a child;

  3. An educational/health facility for children.
