Sponsor a child

Through Child Sponsorship you could change a child's life forever.

With only one meal of rice and pawpaw a day seven year old Fanta told us she is often hungry. But Fanta doesn't want to tell her dad because he works hard and she doesn't want to worry him.

Despite being hungry Fanta still works hard at school because she knows she is lucky to get an education.

Across Africa there are children like Fanta who go to bed hungry night after night, but through child sponsorship you could make hungry nights a thing of the past. And, through updates and messages you receive from your sponsored child, you can see the amazing difference you are making.

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.

• After you become a sponsor, we'll introduce you to a child with a photograph and some information about their life and the problems they face.
