Mark Schultz
When you become a child sponsor, your monthly, ongoing support will provide the things that every child needs to thrive – but not every child’s family can provide. Your gift will fill critical gaps between what a child has and what they need – things like clean water, nutritious food, protection from violence, loving care, a better education and the opportunity to grow into the person they are meant to become.
Your ongoing friendship and encouragement will also help a child living in one of the world’s poorest places to believe in their own potential and inspire them to live it fully, every single day. Keeping in the spirit of giving, when you sponsor a child from this page, Mark Schultz will send you a free autographed “Christmas” CD as well as a ChildFund branded reusable water bottle as a small way of saying thank you!
Please forward your confirmation number to Hope@childfund.org so that we can be sure that you receive your free gifts!!
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.

Child sponsorship is about connection. When you sponsor with ChildFund...
-
Personal
Your sponsored child will write to you and send pictures, and you’ll receive updates about how the child is doing — connecting you with your sponsored child and his or her family and daily life.
-
Community
Your gift combined with contributions from other caring sponsors creates a steady stream of funding to the countries where ChildFund works. Sponsorship allows entire communities to feel the ripple effect of your generosity so they can transform themselves into places that nurture the potential in every child, including your sponsored child — connecting you with your sponsored child’s community.
-
support system
You’ll see how we work with local partner organizations, families, educators, community leaders and local governments to help protect children’s rights to education, nutrition, water, health care and other essential resources — connecting you with your sponsored child’s circle of support.
-
Fight poverty
You will become a source of hope for the child you sponsor, and for that child’s family and community, too. You will be helping your sponsored child to develop and access their true potential, so they can build better lives for themselves and their communities — connecting you with the fight against poverty.
