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.

  • support system

    You’ll see how we work with local partners, families, educators, 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.
