Personal One-to-one relationship

As a sponsor, you can build a personal, one-to-one relationship with your sponsored child through letters, and learn about his or her family, community, daily life and hopes for the future. Regular health and progress reports will show you how your sponsorship is improving the child's life. Your correspondence and special gifts give your sponsored child hope, nurturing and confidence. You may even visit your sponsored child and see first-hand the difference your sponsorship contributions are making.

Different Programs, One Focus:

Better Lives For Children

It is truly amazing how much $24 a month can do for a child in need. You can give a child access to healthy food, safe water and an education. And, when you sponsor a child, CCF uses your monthly sponsorship donations, combined with donations from sponsors of other children in your childs community, to support community wide programs and facilities that change lives and plant the seeds of self-sufficiency.

We build schools, teach vocational skills, engage young children in crucial early childhood development activities, provide health care, and establish replenish able sources of food and safe water. We provide emergency assistance to children who are victims of war and natural disaster. We raise awareness of health hazards and child protection issues and even create jobs and business opportunities to enable parents to better support their families.

Visit With Your Sponsored Child

Sponsorship is so much more than an act of charity. Through letters, drawings and photographs, you build a meaningful, personal relationship with one child. Visiting your sponsored child can be a wonderful, exciting experience that provides the opportunity for you to see for yourself how much good is accomplished with your donations.
