Sponsor a child in Kenya

An unforgettable moment, a lifetime of hope

Siana likes learning English and playing Shibarara [hopscotch] with her friends. But children like Siana are born with few opportunities. Poor schools, poor health and a six hour daily trek to fetch water meant Siana had little time to play or to learn.

Then ActionAid, with people like Chris (left), gave the villagers the help they needed to fight poverty, with new classrooms, textbooks and fresh clean water. The moment the water pump was switched on was truly unforgettable. It was the moment when Siana knew a better future was possible.

Child sponsorship gives hope to thousands of children around the world. As a child sponsor, you'll join a whole community in their struggle to end poverty, and you’ll get to watch a child like Siana find a better future.

You can help bring unforgettable moments to a child like Siana by becoming an ActionAid child sponsor today.

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.

What you'll receive from ActionAid child sponsorship

ActionAid child sponsorship is the start of an incredible one-to-one relationship between you and a child in the developing world.

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.

Then you can then look forward to regular updates direct from the community. You will get two personal messages a year from your sponsored child, along with reports about the difference you are making to so many lives.
