"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.
Sponsor a child today and help make their dreams come true
Issa and his family only have one meal of porridge a day. Issa's family lost everything in Sierra Leone's civil war - their farm and home were completely destroyed. Since, his family have struggled to find the money to rebuild their lives. Issaís father is determined to send his five children to school but this costs money - virtually everything he makes from farming. But without proper nutrition, Issa and his brothers and sisters are at risk of disease and illness. Without help Issa might never be able to realise his dream - his dream of having enough to eat . That's where you come in.
As an ActionAid child sponsor, giving just 50p a day, you could help a child like Issa to go to school and bring positive change to the lives of those who matter to her most - her family, friends and whole community. It may even change your life too.
