After 10 years as an ActionAid child sponsor, Chris Evans decided to visit Narok, and meet Makoi, the child she knew so well from her letters. Watch the video of the trip that inspired her to do even more for the village, raising money for the school library where Makoi and Siana study.
ActionAid child sponsorship is the start of an incredible one-to-one relationship between you and child in the developing world.
"Sponsoring a child is amazing - it isn't just giving money. I get such a lot of satisfaction from the experience because it's so much more personal. You really get to see the difference that you make. And I have become emotionally attached to the children I've sponsored over the years."

Child sponsorship is a wonderful way to bring hope and change to a child living in poverty. Just 50p a day through ActionAid child sponsorship could bring a child an education, and help their whole community access safe clean water, nourishing food and the opportunities they need to change their future, for good. And amazingly, by sponsoring a child you could make this difference today
How does sponsorship work?
As a child sponsor you'll have a unique connection with a child. But to ensure that your donation is spent as effectively as possible, child sponsorship funds work in the community where your sponsored child lives. So you help not only the child you are sponsoring but also those who are closest to them - their friends and family.
