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”
A complete exchange of letters takes about sixteen weeks (6 – 8 weeks each way). This time allows for translation and transportation to and from the child, who may live in an extremely remote area. We rely on a network of community volunteers to collect the letters and often deliver them on foot to each child.
If you don’t receive a reply from your child in over four months, please call us on 1800 023 600 or email info@childfund.org.au and we will look into this for you.
Children love to receive gifts from their sponsors as it makes them feel valued and important. If you want to include a gift with your letter, we suggest small, flat and inexpensive items like stickers, postcards, bookmarks or stationery that fit in a standard envelope. These are most likely to reach the child intact and without incurring customs duties. Please don’t send parcels of any size, as they are not accepted by any country office.
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.
It’s easy to arrange an annual gift of money to your sponsored child to celebrate their birthday, Christmas or other occasion. We have an upper limit on gift amounts, and suggest $20 to $50 per gift, with a total upper limit of $100 per child and family each year.
To set up a gift, please call us on 1800 023 600 or email info@childfund.org.au and we can arrange this for you.
Please note: In Cambodia and Vietnam, gifts to children are handled differently – if your sponsored child lives in these countries, our staff will happily discuss the alternatives available with you.
Our sponsorship program identifies the children and families most in need of assistance within a sponsorship community based on various criteria including family income, assets, number and age of children and desire to participate. The sponsorship program is completely inclusive, regardless of ethnicity, religion, gender, disabilities, culture or beliefs.
ChildFund country offices, staffed with highly qualified local people, regularly evaluate the programs, double check family circumstances and offer guidance and training to local volunteers in the communities. The emphasis is on providing self-help and opportunities to communities, while also nurturing the health and nutrition of children, and developing the skills that will equip them for happy and productive adult lives.
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.
