What is Child Sponsorship?
Child sponsorship is a unique and personal way to make a difference in the life of a child. By sponsoring a child, you're providing them with the support they need to access education and essential items like clothes, bedding, and cooking equipment.
How Does Sponsorship Work?
Our sponsorship program is designed to be simple and straightforward. Here's how it works:
You choose a child to sponsor, either by selecting a child from our website or by allowing us to match you with a child in need.
You commit to a monthly sponsorship, which provides your sponsored child with the support they need to access education and essential items.
Each month, you'll receive a report from us, detailing your sponsored child's progress, including photos, updates on their education, and messages from the child themselves.
You'll also have the opportunity to write to your sponsored child, building a meaningful relationship with them and receiving letters and updates in return.
So, How Big Is the Commitment?
Let's cut to the chase. What exactly is the commitment, and how big is it? Read on for the details.
The Financial Commitment
We're proud to say that our sponsorship program is affordable and flexible. Our sponsorship starts from just £20 per month, and you can choose to send £20, £25, or £30 per month. The best part is that every penny you send goes directly to supporting your sponsored child. We don't pool our funds, so you can be confident that your money is making a real difference in the life of your child. Here are some key facts about the financial commitment:
Our monthly sponsorship fee starts from £20, which is less than the cost of a daily cup of coffee.
You can choose to send £20, £25, or £30 per month, depending on your budget and preferences.
Every penny you send goes directly to supporting your sponsored child, providing them with access to education and essential items.
You can adjust your sponsorship commitment at any time, and we also offer options for sponsors who need to end their sponsorship early.
The Time Commitment
We know that many people are concerned about the time commitment involved in sponsoring a child. But the good news is that the time commitment is very small. In fact, there's no requirement for you to do anything at all. We send out monthly reports to all our sponsors, so you can stay up-to-date with your sponsored child's progress. If you'd like to send a message to your sponsored child, we welcome that, but it's not compulsory. We understand that everyone's busy, and we don't want to add to your workload. Simply knowing that you're making a difference in a child's life is enough.
The Emotional Commitment
Sponsoring a child is a rewarding and emotional experience. Here are some things to consider:
Building a meaningful relationship with your sponsored child takes time and effort, but it's incredibly rewarding.
You'll have the opportunity to see the impact of your sponsorship firsthand, through regular updates and photos.
It's possible that your sponsored child may experience setbacks or challenges, and it can be hard to hear about these difficulties. However, we work tirelessly to support the children and sponsors in our program, providing whatever help and guidance is needed to overcome these challenges.
The Duration of Commitment
We ask our sponsors to commit to sponsoring their child for at least a year, but ideally until the child completes their education. This can be up to 10-15 years, depending on the child's age and educational goals. However, we understand that circumstances can change, and we offer options for sponsors who need to end their sponsorship early.
The Impact and Rewards
Sponsoring a child is a life-changing experience, not just for the child, but for you too. Here are some of the rewards you can expect:
You'll be making a real difference in the life of a child, providing them with access to education and essential items.
You'll have the opportunity to build a meaningful relationship with your sponsored child, and see the impact of your sponsorship firsthand.
You'll also be part of a community of like-minded individuals who are passionate about making a difference in the world.
