Sponsor a Child

Your commitment and support has changed your sponsored child’s life. And when more and more children get the opportunity to change their lives for the better, more families and more communities are able to rise to self-sufficiency.

If you’re able, please sponsor another child today, so another child and another family can have a better life.

What is child sponsorship? How does it work?






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.  

How do you sponsor a child?

  • CHOOSE A CHILD

    Choose a child whose background and interests speak to you.

  • YOUR GIFT IS MULTIPLIED

    Your monthly $39 sponsorship donation will be combined with other sponsors’ gifts, and goes straight to local partner organizations in the community where your sponsored child lives.

  • STAY IN TOUCH

    Build a relationship with your sponsored child, as you exchange letters and photos and receive regular updates. And you can even arrange to visit!
