The family-to-family program is the most direct way to help our brothers and sisters in Peru.
Family-to-Family is a program that provides a direct line of support from families here at SJV to their sponsored families in Peru.
Candidly, it is a surprisingly reasonable amount of money to help a family that is grateful for your support.
It is $30 per month to sponsor a family, which can be donated monthly or in one yearly lump sum.
As with our relationships in our own lives, the amount of communication and the depth of the relationship between a sponsor and their family depends on each side involved. Some families are extroverts and wish to maintain consistent communication throughout the year, and some stay in touch, but not as frequent as the more "enthusiastic" families. There are many sponsors and many sponsored families that have a strong bond with each other despite being so far away.
We are thrilled that you are interested in the Family-to-Family program! It is an excellent example of faith and humanity in action.
