1. Sponsors may not sponsor more than 10 children at a time. We have set this limit to allow as many people as possible the opportunity to participated in the program. Although we appreciate a generous heart, should a sponsor's financial situation change making them unable to continue their support, this reduces the impact on the program.
2. Sponsors will make their sponsorship donations on time according to the payment schedule chosen. Sponsors will receive an automatic notification when payments are 30 days past due. After that time, a sponsorship may be cancelled without notice.
3. Sponsors will keep their contact details up to date within the Sowers4Pastors’ database, either through the website or by email (denise@sowers4pastors.com).
4. Sponsor may not send money to any child or their family. This includes wire transfers, cash or money transfer apps. If you have concerns about a child’s medical or financial need, please bring it to our attention so that we may investigate the situation. Because of S4P’s connections with various resources, we can often address such problems more expediently than the child’s family. S4P reserves the right to reject a request.
5. Sponsors understand that Sowers4Pastors reserves the right to raise the price of sponsorship fees at any time. Sowers4Pastors will communicate by email with sponsors in advance prior to any increase.
6. Sponsors understand that Sowers4Pastors cannot prevent children from leaving the program. Families may move to other cities and other countries. Parents may decide to pull their children from the program to work the farm. If a child leaves the program, sponsors will be notified and the sponsorship cancelled as soon as possible.
7. Sponsors understand that Sowers4Pastors strives to maintain all stated benefits for the children. However, Honduras is a developing country and access to resources can shift unexpectedly. S4P will notify sponsors up on any changes or delays to the program’s benefits.
8. Sponsors understand that letters written to the children must be age-appropriate, respectful and encourage positive behavior. Sowers4Pastors takes the children’s safety very seriously and reserves the right to remove an individual from the program if communication with the child is deemed unacceptable or malicious.
9. Communication with the sponsored family through social media is strongly discouraged. We believe this helps ensure the safety and appropriateness of communication and is in the best interest of both our valued supporting sponsors and the participating children in the program.
