Child sponsorship is about connection. When you sponsor with ChildFund...
Personal
Your sponsored child will write to you and send pictures, and you’ll receive updates about how the child is doing — connecting you with your sponsored child and his or her family and daily life.
Community
Your gift combined with contributions from other caring sponsors
creates a steady stream of funding to the countries where ChildFund
works. Sponsorship allows entire communities to feel the ripple effect
of your generosity so they can transform themselves into places that
nurture the potential in every child, including your sponsored child. — connecting you with your sponsored child’s community.
support system

community leaders and local governments to help protect children’s
rights to education, nutrition, water, health care and other essential
resources — connecting you with your sponsored child’s circle of support.
Fight poverty
You will become a source of hope for the child you sponsor, and for
that child’s family and community, too. You will be helping your
sponsored child to develop and access their true potential, so they can
build better lives for themselves and their communities — connecting you with the fight against poverty.

Sponsorship funds support local partner organizations with which children are enrolled and ensure that the assistance you provide is long-lasting and most appropriate to local needs. This may be helping to build or refurbish a school, training teachers or providing supplies that enable children to attend school. ChildFund may support a community clinic where children receive medical services or the training of community health workers. In consultation with the children and families of the community, local partner organizations determine which needs are most dire and use the sponsorship donations for that area accordingly.
Special gifts are additional amounts you may choose to send which are given directly to your sponsored child and his or her family. This is money for them to use based on what is best for improving their situation whether for personal items, household furniture or farm equipment. We would love for you to include a $3.50 to help cover delivery, processing, added security and foreign currency fees. All gifts will be acknowledged and confirmed with the amount your sponsored child received.
Help Donor pools sponsorship contributions and uses them for community-based programs implemented by local partner organizations. Help Donor has chosen to work through local partners because we believe local ownership of change is fundamental to the social change process. Local partners are responsible for delivering the programs and services that children need at different stages of their lives, and the pooled funds allow them to serve children, families and their communities most effectively. Through these partnerships, Help Donor reaches children directly while also involving parents, teachers, local governments and larger systems in upholding children’s rights to health, nutrition, safety, education and more.
