What is Child Sponsorship?
Child Sponsorship is the commitment you, as a sponsor make to change the life of a deprived child through regular contributions. It is a relationship between you and your sponsored child. This relationship is aimed to give a better life to the child while you have the satisfaction of having invested in building a new India, through our children.
Child sponsorship is a way of raising long-term support for children whilst providing a rich and rewarding experience to donors. Child sponsorship establishes a relationship between a donor and a single child in a way that personalises the challenges of community development while allowing donors to see how their money is making a difference to the life of an individual child, family and their community. Sponsorship helps provide necessities such as access to education, health care, nutrition and other needsThe Juvenile Justice Act 2000 provides for sponsorship programme for providing supplementary support to families, to children homes and to special homes to meet medical, nutritional, educational and other needs of children with a view to improving their quality of life. It empowers the State Government to make rules for the purposes of carrying out various schemes of sponsorship of children, such as individual-to-individual sponsorship, group sponsorship or community sponsorship.
Child sponsorship is an opportunity for donors to experience the results of Plan’s work through the eyes of a single child and family. It’s a way for you – or your children – to learn about the lives of people in other countries by exchanging letters with a child’s family and receiving annual updates. When you sponsor a child, you’ll receive a photograph of the child and his or her family, information about the community, and an annual update on the improvements your generosity is helping to bring about. Sponsorship donations are used for community projects that improve the lives of children – building schools, health clinics and soccer fields; providing clean water, safe housing, sanitary latrines; supporting small business and agricultural projects; advocating for children’s rights.
Child sponsorship is a way to bring hope to children in poor, underdeveloped communities by sharing faith, love, and helping provide for their basic needs. Through child sponsorship, both the sponsor and the child have an opportunity to build a special relationship through correspondence, photos, gifts, and personal visits.
