Poverty & basic needs

Sponsor a child

Sponsor a child from $39 a month, providing healthcare, nutrition and education; sponsorship funds can only be used within your sponsored child's own country, and sponsors receive letters and photo updates. The country restriction is meant to keep the connection between sponsor and child's community concrete rather than pooled globally.

Our take

Similar model to World Vision above; the detail worth noting here is that funds stay within your sponsored child's own country, which may matter if that geographic focus is important to you. That restriction is a deliberate design choice, meant to keep your sponsorship tied to one country's community rather than spread across ChildFund's global operations.
