How long does sponsorship last?
Most children will be sponsored until they are 18 years old, however many continue with secondary school or tertiary studies and will remain on the program until they have completed their education and are able to support themselves. ChildFund Australia seeks to help families and communities become self-reliant by developing the ability to provide for their own children. Often children and entire communities ‘graduate’ from a program – this program represents tremendous progress for the child and family, as it means they have taken control of their own future. Children may also leave the program at any time during sponsorship if their family moves to improve their economic situation; the child changes school or the family situation improves so significantly they no longer require help. If your sponsored child leaves the ChildFund program, we will notify you as soon as possible. We understand financial circumstances change for sponsors as well, so we ask sponsors to contact us immediate
That is up to the sponsor, though we do ask that sponsorship continue at least through the end of first school year in which the sponsorship began. While monthly contributions may be discontinued at any time, many sponsors may choose to continue sponsorship through the child’s elementary school years.
