FAQ
Our policy regarding not featuring adults' faces
We believe that every individual should be honored and deserves respect. Therefore, we do our very best to protect the dignity of adults by not using pictures depicting their faces when receiving aid. However, we use pictures of children smiling to reflect their joy as a result of your contribution.

How will a sponsored child benefit from my donation?
Sponsorship of an orphan child with MWL costs $60 per month to be billed monthly or annually. Every dollar of that money goes towards meeting the child and their community’s basic provisional needs and facilitating programs to meet their long-term sustainable growth – programs such as education and healthcare.
How does your organization work with the community?
As a community-based organization, our programs are built and run in collaboration with the very communities we aim to aid. We want to empower people to make positive changes in their lives, the lives of their children and for their community as a whole. Our collaborative team is highly invested in efficiently and effectively using all available resources to meet the needs of each community we serve.

How long does Mercy Without Limits work in a community?
Our goal at MWL is to be present in a community for as long as there is a need for our services. In the case of logistical challenges that may prevent us from continuing our efforts, we will reevaluate different options to ensure our orphans and their communities can transition smoothly.
Is there a time limit for my sponsorship of a child?
No, there is no time limit that dictates how long you can sponsor a child. We view sponsorships as a commitment to the child for the long term, but each sponsorship is different, and the lengths are based on different factors. Generally, sponsorship can end when a child grows old enough to care for themselves or becomes self-sufficient. As long as the child that you sponsor has not become self-sufficient, he or she will typically continue to receive assistance. If or when your sponsorship ends, we will inform you and provide you with a chance to sponsor another child that is in need of assistance.

What support do I provide for my sponsored orphan?
MWL is unique in that our sponsorship program is designed to provide orphans not only with life’s necessities (food, water, shelter and healthcare), but also access to programs that benefit and empower them and their respective community– such as vocational programs and psychological interventions. Our orphan sponsorship program also provides support to our orphans’ mothers, helping them develop financial independence to support their children and themselves.
