Let’s Give Every Child a Chance to Choose this Christmas!

Though it is only October, it’s already time to start planning for a joyful and meaningful celebration for our sponsored children in Kenya --- and this is where you come in!

If you are a sponsor, we are asking you to consider providing a Christmas shopping voucher. Instead of sending a pre-selected gift, you'll be giving a child the chance to walk into a store — many for the first time ever — and pick out exactly what they need and want. Whether it's clothing, food, books, or a special treat, the freedom to choose makes this a deeply personal and empowering gift.

Even if you are not a sponsor, you can still help make Christmas unforgettable for a child in need by donating a voucher. 

Here’s where we need your help—and why we’re asking now: Our goal is to ensure every sponsored child receives a voucher this Christmas. No child should be left out. No one should feel forgotten.

In many homes, only the sponsored child receives a gift. With a voucher, they not only receive something personal — they often choose to share their gift with siblings and parents. It becomes more than a Christmas present. It becomes a blessing for the whole family, and a way for a child to experience the joy of giving as well as receiving.

Please send your donation by October 25 so we can prepare and distribute vouchers in time. We recommend a gift of $50 per child, but any amount helps us reach every child. Extra funds will be applied to children still waiting for support.*Note: Many sponsors have set up recurring donations—we’re so grateful. If you’re unsure about your gift status, feel free to reach out:  general@tumainiinternational.org |  (714) 671-3907

OR via check (write “Christmas” in the memo) Send to: Tumaini International, PO BOX 6072, Corona, CA 92878-6072

In addition to your gift, we encourage you to send a personal message — a Christmas card, a letter, or a photo of yourself or your family. Sponsored children treasure these and often say it's their favorite part of receiving a gift. It reminds them that someone across the world truly cares.  Please send gift messages and photos to our email general@tumainiinternational.org with your child’s name in the subject line.  Photos and cards may also be mailed to: Tumaini International, PO BOX 6072, Corona, CA 92878-6072 and we send these electronically to Kenya.

Let’s come together and make sure that no child is left behind this Christmas.
Let’s give them more than a gift — let’s give them a moment of joy, a memory of love, and the dignity of choice.
Thank you for your compassion, generosity, and heart for these children.

With love and gratitude,
The Tumaini Team
