"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." Gillian Pope

Frequently asked questions
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.
