Food and clean water
Agriculture, livelihood and sanitation programs combine to provide safe water and nutritious food for your sponsored child and their community.
A safe environment
We partner with communities to build child protection systems that keep children safe from harm, and help them to be better prepared for natural disasters.
Protection from disease
Your support means we can reach your sponsored child with proper immunisations, improved healthcare facilities and maternal healthcare that may save their life.
Education
Your sponsored child will have the chance to learn to read, write and count in schools with quality learning environments and properly trained teachers, as well as take part in creative activities such as arts and sport.
Confidence and opportunity
Every child has hopes, dreams and fears. Your support helps address the emotional needs of children through psychosocial programs that enable children to survive trauma and thrive through leadership development.
The survival, development and future of any child depends on their community. That’s why your sponsorship improves life for both your child and their whole community.
“Sponsorship pulled me from nowhere to being able to have a good life in Uganda. It was like a bridge – if that bridge had not been there I would not have been able to get to the other side”
Sponsoring a child is one of the easiest ways to make a difference for children living in poverty. Your monthly contribution will not only help to change the life of your sponsored child, but the well-being of their family and the entire community.
Your generosity will change lives by providing support in education, health, food and nutrition, clean water and sanitation and youth development and vocational skills training.
You will have the opportunity to develop a unique and long-lasting relationship with the child you have sponsored by exchanging letters and pictures over the years and you will receive annual reports on how the child and their local community initiatives are progressing. And if you decide to visit your sponsored child, we will help you plan your trip of a lifetime.
As the future of children is ultimately linked to the situation in their community, ChildFund Australia sponsorship contributions are pooled with funds from other sponsors to help benefit all children and families in the community. This includes enrolled children who are awaiting a sponsor.
Sponsorship contributions help provide education, healthcare, food, safe drinking water, vocational training and income generation skills and child protection services for the child, family and community. The exact blend of program work depends on the needs and context of each individual community, so some or all programs may be active in your sponsored child’s area at any one time.
Active community participation and empowerment is encouraged within ChildFund project areas. Whilst children are at the centre of the locally developed initiatives, the emphasis is on encouraging self-help by providing families and communities with the means to reshape their future.
ChildFund Australia currently offer new child sponsorships in the following countries: Cambodia, Vietnam, The Philippines, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Ethiopia, Kenya, Uganda and Zambia.
When you become a ChildFund supporter, you will receive a sponsorship welcome pack containing:
Throughout the year, you should receive at least 2 letters from your sponsored child, as well as an annual child progress report with an update on your sponsored child and the ChildFund program’s activities. This will provide you with detailed information about your sponsored child’s development, living circumstances and educational progress. Additional correspondence between you and your sponsored child will also give you an idea of your sponsored child’s hobbies, interests, schoolwork and dreams for the future.
If you would like further information about your sponsored child, please write to the relevant country office and they will answer your questions in as much detail as possible. Contact details for the country office are included inside your child profile. For more specific information about ChildFund programs in your child’s community, please refer to the information inside your child profile.
If you have any questions about child sponsorship, our Supporter Relations Team is more than happy to help! Please call us on 1800 023 600 or email webenquiries@childfund.org.au.
