THANK YOU FOR BECOMING A SPONSOR!

You’ve just done something wonderful. Your regular donation will help a child back themself and benefit their entire community.

What happens next?


Over the next few days, we’ll start pulling together information to introduce you to the child you sponsor. We'll send you a bespoke welcome pack within 4-7 days, which will include photographs of them, as well as information about them, their family and the area in which they live.

We’ll try our best to match your preferences (age, gender and country) as closely as possible when linking you to a sponsored child.
