child sponsorship

Fund a kid

Child sponsorship is a charitable arrangement where donors make regular payments to support a specific child, typically in a developing country.

The sponsorship usually covers education, healthcare, and basic needs, and sponsors often receive photos and letters from the child: We've had a child sponsorship through the organization for ten years.

Programs vary—some fund individual children directly, others pool contributions for community-wide benefits.
