Youngsters in "The Bottoms" receive significant help from the mission's child sponsorship program. For a mere 20 dollars a month, somebody in the U.S. can pay for a child's uniform and other supplies required to attend school. If not for these sponsorships, many boys and girls could not afford school. And since the government nor their families would make them go, they would simply stay home.
     “We have a couple of boys -- one is 11, the other is 12 – and they have never been to school,” Mary says.
    But sponsorship changes all that. The Mount Carmel Mission has more than 380 children sponsored, with the youngsters writing letters to their supporters every two months. But here's the catch: the sponsored child must attend school and church. A child who fails school more than three times gets dropped from the program. 


    Sometimes, sponsors and their churches raise money to build homes for their children, or for any family in need. A church in North Carolina is funding the construction of this cinderblock house, which includes two bedrooms and a wash basin, or pila. This will be home for a mother and three small children.
