What is the length of commitment for sponsorship?
The length of your commitment is up to you. However, if you must end your sponsorship for any reason, your sponsored child will continue to benefit from community programs and we will find a new sponsor for your sponsored child as quickly as we can. Please keep in mind that sponsorship for less than a year adds additional work and increases the expenses of the program. Short sponsorships also limit your ability to become acquainted with your child.
Scholarship sponsorship is intended to be a minimum commitment of one year – but we encourage sponsors to support their children for as long as they are able through the child’s education. Kensington Cares will contact all sponsors ahead of their year anniversary to confirm whether they would like to continue with their support. When a sponsored child graduates or leaves the community supported by Kensington Cares, we will contact you to introduce a new child in need and confirm whether you would like to build a new relationship.
