| Bush Fire Project has established a sponsorship program that is two-fold in purpose. The first is to offer Uganda Family Resource Link some consistent financial support with which to help cover expenses related to caring for these children. While this amount is not sufficient to provide completely for all areas of each child’s care, such as food, clothing, medical care, educational fees/supplies, etc., it does provide a consistent source of income that UFRL can rely on to help meet these important needs. The money will be given directly to UFRL for the care of the children. The second purpose of the sponsorship program is relational. Our desire is to see sponsors develop a friendship with their child/children at Bush Fire through the exchange of photos and letters. This has proven to be such an important part of the program because of the joy that it brings to the kids to be able to have two-way correspondence with their new friends. For this reason, we strongly urge you to prayerfully consider sponsorship as we are seeking sponsors who desire not only to help financially support a child but who also want to get to know them on a more personal level.
|
The cost of sponsorship is $18/month per child. Bank transaction fees for credit card and e-check processing are the only deductions taken from sponsorship donations. After these fees are deducted, the remaining amount goes directly to UFRL for the care of the children. Bush Fire Project does not take any additional fees from the sponsorship program.
|
You may pay by check, credit card or electronic transfer. Payment information will be included in your sponsorship packet.

You have the option of paying monthly ($18), quarterly ($54), or annually ($216). Please have payments in by the 15th of each month.
|
As a sponsor, you will automatically be placed on our mailing list to receive periodic newsletters so that you can stay informed on what is happening in the Bush Fire Community. Your child will send you occasional letters, which will be sent to Bush Fire Project and forwarded on to you. Many of the children will initially be unable to write, but a house parent, staff member or older child in the home will transcribe their words for them. (Please keep in mind that English is a second language and letter writing is not common in this culture.) Additionally, you will receive prayer requests from your child, as they are made known to us, as well as updated photographs.
|
Yes. You are encouraged to send letters and a photo of yourself/family to your child. This will help you establish a relationship with your child and allow you to bless them with your prayers and encouragement. He or she will be praying for you too. Please send correspondence to your child to Bush Fire Project at the address below. All letters are forwarded on in bulk at the end of each month. It can take a few weeks for letters to arrive so please plan accordingly if you are sending a birthday or holiday card.

No. Because these children live together as a family, we do not allow the sending of individual gifts. It would cause disappointment and hurt for those children who do not receive anything. For this reason, we also ask that you do not include small trinkets in the letters you send. We do wish to emphasize the importance of exchanging letters with these children as opposed to the giving of gifts. The gift of your friendship and your prayers is of great value and will tremendously bless your sponsored child.
|
If you are no longer able to make the monthly sponsorship payments, we simply ask that you contact us as soon as possible so that we can find another sponsor for your child.
|
|
You may make a financial contribution either by credit card, electronic transfer or by check. You will be able to designate funds, if you choose, to any of the following areas:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
General fund |
|
Vocational training program |
|
Staff support (in Uganda) |
|
Other (please designate) |
Non-designated funds will be put into the general fund and used to cover day-to-day operating expenses at Bush Fire, to supplement other areas where funding may be limited, or for special projects. To direct your funds, simply write your wishes in the comments section if paying online by credit card/electronic transfer or on the memo line if paying by check.
If you choose to direct funds for a particular use, please keep in mind that we reserve the right to redirect the money to cover basic needs (food, clothing, medical care, etc) if such a need arises. We will also redirect in the event of over funding in a particular area.
