How long do children remain sponsored through Plan?
At the age of 18, all sponsored children officially “graduate” from the program, although they will continue to benefit from our involvement in their community. If a sponsored child’s family moves out of the area where Plan works, or if the community decides that it has become self-sufficient and no longer in need of Plan assistance, the sponsorship will come to an end. When that happens, you’ll receive a profile and photograph of a new child to sponsor. If you don’t want to make the transition to a new child, or want to shift to another way to give to Plan’s work, simply contact us and let us know your wishes.
