How does child sponsorship fit with community development?
The ongoing commitment of child sponsorship allows a steady stream of funds that SSF can allocate in advance to ensure community development work continues. The number of children sponsored is directly related to a real figure of resources that are needed to realize the community’s development goals. If SSF has not found sponsors for children that are part of the program, then that project is not fully funded. Communities in need are chosen by SSF through detailed research, which identifies the degree of poverty as part of the assessment. SSF then spends three to six months consulting with the community. Youth, women, leaders and of course, children are approached individually and in groups to gain a sense of the challenges and priorities of the community. The next step is to work on a small project that has a short timeframe of around six to 12 months to see how SSF and the community can work together.
