How It Works
Sponsoring a Child Comes in Three Easy Steps
Save the Children combines the donations you make toward your child with the gifts of other sponsors and donors — rather than giving them directly to your sponsored child — to support programs that help make life better for all eligible children in the communities we serve. Getting to Know Your Child The caring relationship between a sponsor and child starts with a photograph and a biography of your child. It continues and strengthens with letters, shared pictures and opportunities to get to know each other better and develop a loving, lasting relationship. Seeing life through your child's eyes: Letters and drawings from your sponsored child help you to learn more about daily life through his or her own words and experiences. The letters you receive are in your child's own hand (a parent or sibling may help a child too young to write) as well as in a translation provided by Save the Children field office staff, if necessary. Their carefully drawn pictures and treasured words will help you more fully understand the daily struggles and joys of your child's life. Celebrating special times: Throughout the year we will send you special holiday cards that you can fill out and return for delivery to your sponsored child. We'll also provide you with special stationery and suggestions for letters to help you correspond with your sponsored child. Making a lasting difference: The best part of child sponsorship is that you can actually see the impact your sponsorship is having. You'll receive regular status reports from Save the Children staff who work with your child, in addition to his or her own letters. You'll also get newsletters and other information from Save the Children throughout the year. You can see up close and personal the positive changes you are making in the life of a young child and his or her community.
