Sponsor a child in India

Be part of a child's world, sponsor a child today

For children like Rupali, who live in urban slums throughout India, life is difficult. For Rupali living amongst rotting waste and open sewers is all she has ever known. Clean, safe water is scarce and disease is a constant threat. While her parents work to feed the family Rupali must cook, clean and fetch water. But like many children living in poverty Rupali desperately wants to go to school and dreams of a better life for her and her family.

Having a sponsor like you in their life means children like Rupali can look to the future with hope. As a sponsor your support could help bring clean water to a child's community, help children access an education, and their parents to improve their livelihood. Because although you sponsor just one child the money you give helps a whole community.

Transform a child's world today by giving just 50p a day and becoming an ActionAid child sponsor.
