The 120 Campaign
Buy a Parcel of Land. Build a Farm to sustain an Orphanage of 80.
The Issue.
163 million orphans will wake up this morning, many of them with no food to eat.
In the next 120 seconds- 24 children will die because of hunger related issues.
9 million children will die before their 5th birthday.
The Facts.
On average, sponsoring an orphan for a month costs $45.
The cost to sponsor an orphan for a year is approximately $540.
If a child was sponsored from birth to the age of 18 the cost would be $9,720.
Sponsoring 80 orphans from birth to 18 would cost $777,600.
The Farm.
Today, join individuals from across the nation and partner with Go International to build a 120 parcel farm in Cambodia to support and sustain an orphanage. This $12,000 farm will not only sustain 80 orphans, but it will also allow these orphans to have three meals a day.
Get Involved.
One parcel of land is $100.
Be one of 120 individuals across the nation to purchase a parcel of land and together we can build a farm and create lasting change in the lives of Cambodian orphans.

The annual Mystery Mission Trip is something every Go Intern looks forward to being a part of. Last year the interns first stop was Cambodia where they visited several villages of Kampong Thom, bringing the the gospel in the form of dramas. One day, while in a village, the team was introduced to a woman who had just lost her husband 5 days previously. The translator explained that she was expressing her dream to move to the village we were in, along with her children, and away from their disease ridden community that took the life of her husband. Her reasoning went even deeper than that. She wanted so badly to move from their predominately Buddhist village to this specific village that was home to the local Christian church so that her sons would not be raised in the pagodas and instead, would be under the influence of the Christian church. She had been unable to relocate because of her financial situation. After the Go team heard of her need, we rallied together, and within 5 min, all the funds were raised for her to have a new hut built, which was even bigger than she had anticipated! All it took was two hundred and fifty six U.S. dollars, and she was able to have her desire met. Our team had not planned on being in that village that day, but God knew her and her family were in need, and He is the master of setting up divine appointments; even though the Mystery Trip was left a mystery to the interns, God knew all along not only where we were going, but why we were going there. Don’t miss the opportunities He’s setting up in your daily life, it may not be penciled into your schedule, but rest assured you’ll be blessed for making the time.

Go Geographic: Cambodia Intiative
This summer, GO International is taking a group overseas on an 18 and older mission trip to Cambodia. Although we have several different initiatives taking place while in the country, I want to highlight a particular project we’ll be doing with an orphanage based in the village of Kampong Thom. They have the capacity to house 80 children, but they currently don’t have the resources to feed that many. Usually, orphanages operate off of a monthly sponsorship program. Although sponsorship is helpful, supplying them with the means to provide for themselves would be much more effective. That’s why this summer Go International will be purchasing a farm on a 120-parcel plot of land right next to their housing complex. This farm will consist of chickens, quails, fish and mushrooms. This vital project will also lower the monthly sponsorship rate, making it much easier to have financial support.
The Math.
-On average, sponsoring an orphan for one month costs $40.
-This would make the yearly figure approximately $480.
-If the entire orphanage had sponsorship for 80 children from birth to the age of 18 that staggering cost would amount to $691,200.
The Solution.
The cost of the farm is only $12,000.
$12,000 is certainly much cheaper than $691,200.
Together, by building this farm, we provide 3 meals a day for 80 orphans at a fraction of the sponsorship cost. This farm will also be a source of revenue, resulting in it being self-funded. With a gift of $100, you can sponsor one of the land parcels and be a part of the solution by providing a way for an orphan to have shelter and food.
