Sponsor a Child

Your commitment and support has changed your sponsored child’s life. And when more and more children get the opportunity to change their lives for the better, more families and more communities are able to rise to self-sufficiency.

If you’re able, please sponsor another child today, so another child and another family can have a better life.

 

Sponsor a Child through ChildFund


Sponsorship is one of the most powerful ways you can make a difference in a child’s life. When you sponsor a child for $39 a month, you connect directly with a child facing tough circumstances and help them grow up healthy, educated and safe, like every kid should.
