How Sponsorship Works

We sponsor at-risk children and youth under two different programs. The costs to support a child vary by program, from $40/month to $210/month. See the table below to understand the program differences.
You can choose to donate for a child or youth under any of the programs and at whatever level you are comfortable with

How much should I sponsor?
You may choose to be a full sponsor for an individual child's academic year. Or you can be partial sponsor a child, and your donation will be combined with those who sponsor the same child.
We encourage you to invite a close friend who would like to co-sponsor with you.
How is your donation used?
When you sponsor a specific child, your donations are earmarked for that child. You may choose to be a full sponsor for a child's academic year. If you chose to partially sponsor a child, your donation is combined with those of other sponsors who sponsor the same child.
What you will receive?
We will send you an electronic package that includes photos and more information about your sponsored child.
Only if you chose to, we can help start a friendship with your sponsored child! You can share digital letters, cards and photos. We can also schedule video calls monitored by one of our staff.
You’ll also receive regular updates on how the child is doing in school.
