Why Does Sponsorship Matter?

Sponsorship provides the opportunity for a single person (that’s you!) or family to support a single child somewhere in the world. The sponsor and child relationship can be a life-changing, worldview-shaping experience. Sponsors are moved to see and experience a whole new perspective. They realize that children in our program often do not have the resources to attend school or attain proper nutrition. A monthly financial gift from a sponsoring partner can provide tuition, supplies, nutrition, medical care, or whatever is most relevant to a specific child. Sponsorship is vital for the development of thousands of children, and often affords valuable, personal growth for sponsors.

What Does it Mean to Sponsor a Child?

Starting at $38/month, funds from sponsors are directed through local, trustworthy caregivers. Those local leaders will ensure the best use of sponsorship money, considering a child’s needs, social context, and season of life.

Examples of Sponsorship Impact

Education

In schools, monthly support often pays for tuition, books,
uniforms, and, in some cases, lunches! Sponsorships can
also help schools hire & retain teachers, providing access to
education for many non-sponsored children.

Hostels

Some children require residential care to access
education. ICCM hostels in some countries welcome orphans, children from
regions without schools or where child trafficking is
pervasive, and children whose parents are incapable of
caring for them. Sponsorships are critical for the
operating costs of hostels.

How long does a sponsorship last?

Sponsorship continues until a student completes their secondary education. If a child moves away or becomes ineligible, we inform you and give you the opportunity to transfer, or to decline sponsorship of a new child.

How many children can I sponsor at the same time?

There is no limit to the number of children a person can sponsor at the same time. We encourage our donors to give as they feel led. Some folks support two, three, four, or more children. While this generosity is greatly appreciated, it is not expected. Every single sponsorship or donation to our various initiatives contributes to our goal of helping children around the World. 

Is the cost to sponsor always $38 per month?

Most children in our program can be sponsored for $38 per month. However, that amount of U.S. dollars does not have an equal impact everywhere in the world. For example, while $38 might be sufficient for many children in our Africa locations, about twice that amount is needed for a similar impact in Brazil; more in other regions. We are growing our sponsorship model to creatively address global economics, including scaling rates and allowing children to be sponsored by multiple donors, as needed.
