Abraham's Place

Sponsor a child by name, and keep the same name for years.

One child, one sponsor, until graduation.

Abraham's Place began with a widow in Acres Homes who kept taking in children nobody else would claim. Today it places children with sponsors who commit monthly — covering school fees, uniforms, food, and medical care — and who receive real letters and photographs rather than form updates.

Because Abraham's Place is fiscally sponsored by SWAT for Christ, every gift is receipted by us, held in a restricted fund, and released against documented costs. The ministry keeps its own leadership and its own name; we carry the compliance.
