It takes a lot of work to run an orphanage day and night. And although HOBI operates as efficiently as possible, providing basic needs does have some cost. Right now there are children who are not individually sponsored. For just $20-$50 per month, each child sponsorship ensures that a child receives clean water, clothes, sleeping quarters, and a proper education. Additionally, the orphanage has an operating expenditure of $600 per month for ground maintenance, construction, and other basic necessities.
