Sponsoring a child through Orphans in Need can make a significant impact on an orphan’s life. Your regular donation is incredibly valuable in helping to transform a life and give a child hope for the future. Your support benefits not only your sponsored child but also the other children in the program, creating positive changes for the child and their community.
Yes, you can select the country and specify whether you would like to sponsor a boy or a girl. When setting up your sponsorship online, select the country from the options and indicate your preference for a boy or girl in the comments box. If you set up your sponsorship by post or phone, simply inform us of your preference. We will do our best to meet your requests. If you do not specify, we will assign sponsorship to where it is most needed.
Your sponsorship helps cover the child’s school fees, uniforms, school books, stationery, and school meals. Each child receives education, nutritious meals, and healthcare. Our project-based sponsorship scheme ensures all the needs of our orphans are met by pooling the support of several sponsors, providing quality care and opportunities comparable to those of more fortunate children.
Upon starting your sponsorship, you will receive a welcome pack including a profile of your sponsored child, and information about their background and country of residence. Throughout the year, you will receive a feedback report on your sponsored child’s progress, a recent photograph, a brief message, and a drawing from your child (depending on their age and writing ability).
To ensure the safety and well-being of the children, we do not allow individual visits to sponsored children. Such visits can potentially harm a child’s development and emotional well-being. Our commitment to child protection and logistical constraints mean we cannot supervise or accommodate visits.
There is no minimum commitment period. You can sponsor a child for as long as you are able. Long-term sponsorship can be particularly rewarding as you support your child through many years of continuing care and education.
Please contact us before cancelling your monthly payment. We can explore alternative ways for you to continue supporting our mission. If you cannot afford the full sponsorship amount, consider making a donation of any amount to our Orphan Fund to help support the project and the children in general.
Sponsorship costs a month. This amount goes directly towards providing education, healthcare, and nutritious meals for your sponsored child.
Yes, you can send letters and small gifts to your sponsored child. This communication helps build a special bond and offers encouragement. All correspondence is reviewed to ensure it is appropriate and safe for the child.
If your sponsored child leaves the program due to relocation, adoption, or any other reason, we will inform you promptly and offer you the opportunity to sponsor another child in need.
In addition to sponsorship, you can support Orphans in Need by making one-time or recurring donations, participating in fundraising events, volunteering, and spreading awareness about our mission and programs.
