Child sponsorship can help provide education, healthcare, protection, food, water and long-term community support. Use this page to support AidWorkers.com and compare trusted child sponsorship routes.
Most reputable sponsorship programmes do not simply hand cash to one child. They usually combine regular gifts to support a child, family and wider community through education, health, nutrition, water, protection and local development.
Before sponsoring, check what the monthly payment covers, how updates are provided, whether funds are pooled for community benefit, what safeguarding rules apply and how the charity reports impact.
Support practical humanitarian action, aid worker resources, emergency preparation, news, programme guidance, governance work and direct support for people working close to need.
