Samuel's Fund Sponsorship

Every moment of every day in the Dominican Republic (DR), and throughout the world, neglected children live and die without the hope of a better life. STCH Ministries’ Samuel’s Fund Project is a sponsorship program that matches sponsors with Dominican children that the sponsors select from a group of available children.

For only $35 a month, a Samuel’s Fund Sponsor can bring hope and specific help to a child who desperately needs it. With the resources a sponsor provides, orphans and at-risk children can develop into independent young adults who can impact their culture for Christ. More Info ...

CLEP Fund Sponsorship

STCH Ministries is reaching beyond our borders to provide needed resources to Dominican Republic (DR) young people eager to continue their college education through the Christian Leadership and Education Project (CLEP).

The CLEP Program is a sponsorship program that matches sponsors with Dominican college students that the sponsors select from a group of available students (see Sponsor a CLEP Student). Each CLEP student is required to contribute a minimum of 10 hours a month in ministry to younger Samuel Fund’s children as tutors and mentors.

The cost for a college education in the DR is surprisingly affordable at about $100 a month. You may choose to sponsor this full amount or for only $50 a month, you can be a co-sponsor. As a CLEP Sponsor, you can help develop independent young adults who can impact their culture for Christ. You may also choose to send one-time contributions of any amount to the CLEP fund to help the many CLEP students who are waiting by faith for the opportunity to get their college degree. More info..

Feed the Hunger

This is a food packing event in which participants produce thousands of nutritious meals that will be distributed to children and families in need, both in America and internationally. Everyone, both children and adults can be involved in this activity. Watch for the 2020 dates.
