Be part of a child's world, sponsor a child today
For children like Rupali, who live in urban slums throughout the developing world, 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.

"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.
