Grab a Corner of the Mat!
The bible tells a story of four men who carry their paralyzed friend on a mat to Jesus. We love this story at COH because the four friends are so determined to help their friend. By partnering together and using the resources available to them (the mat), they get their friend to the source of help (Jesus).
Circle of Hope International invites you to grab a corner of the mat. By partnering with us, you can make a significant difference in the lives of many people who have been paralyzed by poverty.
Here are just a few of the ways you can become a mat-carrier!
Share the story! We are very excited about our new documentary to be released in just a few weeks. Partner with Circle of Hope to host a viewing of the documentary at your local church or in your home. Email karen@cohcommunity.org to schedule your event.
Sponsor a Child! One of the most direct ways you can become a mat-carrier is to partner with us to care for the children. Children suffer the most in homes that are paralyzed by poverty. Your gift of $20 a month will provide not only care for a child, but development for the community where your child lives. Email sponsor@cohcommunity.org today to adopt your child.
Support Hands of Grace! Your gift for Hands of Grace will break the bonds of poverty that have gripped our community for decades. Pick up your corner of the mat today!
Church Partnerships: Circle of Hope International invites your church to partner with us. Email karen@cohcommunity.org to discuss which partnership program will meet your church's desire to be part of the amazing things happening in Africa.
School Supplies: School starts in Malawi in January. Our children need pencils, pens, and writing paper. If your group would like to purchase pencils and pens or if you would like to make a donation for writing paper, our children can start the new year with the necessary school supplies. This would be a great project for your class to take on.
Uniforms: Many of our children are having a difficult time staying in school because they do not have a uniform for school. Your organization can help raise money for purchasing uniforms for the children. Each uniform costs $4. The total cost for uniforms is $1000.
Ideas that don’t involve cash!
Forward a link to this web site to five friends and ask them to think about getting involved in our community.
Volunteer:We need people who would like to give of their time to help with administration, communications, fundraising, curriculum development and more. If you have a few hours a week or month you would like to give please contact us.
Bake Sale: By selling cakes, pies, cookies, etc, we can provide good nutritious food for our orphans and vulnerable children. Your group can hold a bake sale to raise money for the many development projects taking place through Circle of Hope International.
Set up a speaking event: Do you have a connection with a church, small group, or community organization? We are looking for groups where we can present an opportunity to join the community of Circle of Hope International. Please contact us if you can provide us with the opportunity to speak before any size group.
