Child sponsorship is the good way of touching lives in Africa. Individuals, families, churches and groups are linked with specific children or specific community projects in their own country or abroad, pledging an amount each month to support community-led programmes that benefit children.
The problems children face in the developing world differ, but the cause is always the same (poverty). It's easy to feel hopeless, but through child sponsorship, you truly can do something about it, something extraordinary. You can personally reach out and connect with a child and community. You get to see and feel the difference your support makes, through the eyes of your sponsored child and their letters and photographs. Sponsorship provides resources that go into programmes that are usually ten to 15 years in length and are custom designed in collaboration with community leaders to address key needs. Programmes are child-focused but also benefit non-sponsored children and families.
