Child Sponsorship

Sponsorship is one of the most powerful ways you can make a difference. When you sponsor a child for $39 a month, you help fund programs in that child's community, supporting them to grow up healthy, educated and safe, like every kid should.

Sponsorship

How it all works

Start the journey

You choose a special child to sponsor and support them as they grow. With ChildFund's 88 years of experience in child and youth development, you can feel confident knowing we’re an organization you can trust.

Multiply your impact

We combine your tax-deductible donation with gifts from other caring sponsors to make life better where your sponsored child lives. You can also send direct monetary donations as a gift to your sponsored child, like birthday and holiday gift donations.

Make a difference

It’s like having a pen pal in another part of the world – all while you support a child and their dreams!

Through letters and photos, you get to personally know and encourage your sponsored child and their family.

Global projects in action

Protecting childhood worldwide

ChildFund has programs in 66 countries to help children achieve their full potential. In the U.S., supporters can sponsor children in 21 of those countries. Our work is tailored to each country’s culture and context, whether we are supporting kids to get a better education in Kenya, resist child marriage in India or find a safe space to express their emotions in the United States.

Where We Work

My mother died when I was one year old. My sponsor has really, really made me who I am. She played a very vital role. Right now, I am chasing my dreams, all thanks to my sponsor.
