Bethel’s 2021 Global Christmas Order Form

A one-year scholarship for one student is $1500, which includes room, board, tuition, books, national exam fees, hospital clinical experience, and uniforms. A gift of $125 will fund one month, $35 funds one week. It all adds up, as we pool our donations. Nurses are critically needed health care providers, and they need our help. Please consider a donation that not only helps a student, but it also helps every person for whom that future nurse provides care!

Please consider a donation to the Bethania Covid Relief fund. The virus in India is still raging though there have been limited cases among Bethania’s children and staff. 95% of the staff have been vaccinated at this time, and Bethania is helping to facilitate vaccines for families and communities. Bethania’s COVID-19 relief fund has raised $40,000 of the $118,000 goal. The priority items, masks, PPE, vaccination support, food distribution and emergency hospitalizations have been covered. At this time, the needs are increasing community vaccinations, nutritional support, continuing hospitalizations, as well as making sure all of the Bethania sites are ready and able to handle the return of children to Care Centers.

Concordia’s great need is for funds towards sponsorships. Bethel’s donations will be pooled to provide for as many children as we can. A full year sponsorship for one child is $300 in elementary school, and $360 for a high school student. We understand if you are not able to provide a full sponsorship. As you consider a gift, here are a few examples of expenses at the orphanage: it costs over $1200 a year for medical care and immunizations, meals are $70 per month per child, and $25 per month keeps one child in clean diapers. A sponsorship means an abandoned or orphaned child will be well cared for in the loving environment of Concordia Children's Services until they are placed in permanent homes.

Food insecurity is La Escuela’s primary focus to address the overwhelming need in their student population. Hungry children can’t learn! The 2022 Food Security Drive seeks to raise $65,000 to feed the school for the year, providing 5,200 meals ($1.25 each). Our donations will help them meet their goal. Consider, $25 covers a meal for an entire class, $50 provides 2 meals a day for a child for a month, $75 feeds a family of six for two weeks, and $225 feeds the entire school one meal. Consider, grateful children eager to learn and grow. Please help!

A one-year scholarship for one student is $1000, which includes room, board, tuition, fees and uniforms. As you consider a gift, consider that it costs the school $30 per student for computer lab access, $40 covers a uniform and shoes, and textbooks average $50 each. Many of the girls Bethel has supported over the years are now in universities pursuing degrees in education, business, health care, and others. Still others have embarked on careers, returning to improve and enrich their communities. How many girls will Bethel sponsor through our donations this year?
