What is a sponsor?
To become a sponsor is to extend friendship and love to a desperately needy child in Africa. War, drought, famine and disease have left thousands of children orphaned or in extreme poverty in this part of the world.

Every day is a life and death struggle for children not strong enough to withstand disease because hunger has weakened their tiny bodies. Your monthly gift will provide a basic education, and other necessities such as medical care, clothing, etc. Not only will you be a tremendous blessing to the child you assist, but in turn you will experience great joy as you see your child mature and grow.

How much does it cost?
For just £18 per month you can help to give a child a brighter future. We do have international and Online sponsors, and in this case we ask for (at least) the equivalent of £19 (or €22, US$27, CAN$38, AUS$38)???. This is to cover additional postage costs and a small charge from credit companies.

Can I write to my sponsored child?
Yes! We encourage you to write letters to your child. When you set up your account we will give you an address that you can send mail to. Your child will write back to you, but please remember that many of them have never been to school before and cannot form letters yet!

How often should I write to my child?
We recommend up to three times a year. However it is entirely up to yourself, so if you are not a writer, please do not feel that you must write every month.

Can I send gifts (toys, clothes etc. ) to my sponsored child ?
The simple answer is no. All children love to receive gifts! However, there are many obstacles to overcome in sending gifts to developing countries such as Uganda and Kenya. Instead, sponsors wishing to give a gift at Christmas time may do so by sending up to £10 to the Sponsorship Department. All Christmas monies are deposited into a central gift fund and at Christmas time a Field worker will purchase equal gifts for all of the children in our care.

How much of my £18 goes to Africa?
This will cover school fees, medical and also development of their education. For example money left over from all the children attending one school, may go towards building a new classroom. Administration is covered separately. If you wish to help with administration you can add an extra £1 or £2.

What do I receive?
• A photo and short personal history of your child.
• The opportunity to correspond with your child
• A history of the child's native country
• The Joy of knowing you're making a difference to a needy child
