Transform a Community: Child Sponsorship

    For several years, Bethany has partnered with World Vision to work with the people of Matete in Kenya as they develop their community.

    For several years, Bethany has partnered with World Vision to work with the people of Matete in Kenya as they develop their community. Before we began sponsoring children in Matete, 30% of the population of 65,000 people had access to clean water. Now, 90% are enjoying it! Over the years, Bethany members have sponsored 761 children, and we’ve seen incredible gains in community development and wellness for our brothers and sisters in Matete. The work continues now to build more schools and improve healthcare, all of which is made possible by child sponsorship support. While Kenya has seen about 500 cases of COVID-19, we are able to report that there are no cases so far in Matete.

    We anticipate Matete’s incredible transformation to be complete in 2026. In the meantime, we encourage you to support Bethany’s generosity to World Vision. Currently we sponsor 473 children, and we’re still looking for sponsors for the 900 children who are waiting for someone like YOU to support them, their family, and their community.
