Child Sponsorship Program

Child Sponsorship Program is one-on-one support program model where a friend called a "sponsor" and a beneficiary called a "child" connect and start a new relationship. A sponsor subscribes a gift monthly to support the basic needs of his or her sponsored child. This support caters for school fees, scholastic materials, meals and medical assistance for a child. Through the activity called "Letter writing/Pen-pal" both the sponsor and the child write and communicate to one another cultivate the relationship. A sponsor continues to learn more about the child as well as the child and their families through letters, photos, and sponsor visits.
