Sponsor a child for $43 a month; a local church uses the funds for the child's nutrition, education and mentorship, and sponsors can write letters directly to their sponsored child. Working through local churches means the day-to-day support is delivered by people already embedded in the child's own community.
The distinguishing feature here is direct letter exchange through a local church rather than a pooled community fund — worth knowing this is a faith-based organisation if that matters to how you want your sponsorship to work. Since the local church delivers the day-to-day mentorship, your sponsorship also connects to people already embedded in the child's own community, not an outside aid worker.
