Child Sponsorship
Take a step and become a Child Sponsor!
In our world there are around:

- 200 million child workers
- 200 million street children
- 10 million child prostitutes
- 600 million children who live with less than one Euro per day
- 35 000 children who die daily from malnutrition and preventive diseases
- 40 million children aborted annually

Together we can make the difference! Our goal is to encourage and inspire the communities in India to improve their life-management on their own. Encouraging and inspiring is done by participatory training and small-scale pre-schools, tailoring, computer, literacy, environment, and water programmes. The goal is that in every community there are model families, who are a healthy influence to the entire community. A sponsorship child is an important member of his or her community. By following the life of an individual child we are able to see the change our programme is promoting. The support given to the child benefits the entire community

Your chance to help

A sponsor makes a commitment to provide a specific donation for a child. The amount of the donation is specified for each programme. Funds sent to the children will support the entire community. A sponsor can be a person, group or company. The sponsor will receive a picture and information about the programme. The person/s in charge of the programme communicate/s between the sponsors and children. They report the progress of the programme in annual sponsor letters. Direct communication between the child and the sponsor may, in the family of the child, generate expectations and hopes that eventually cannot be met by the sponsor. The persons in charge protect the sponsor from these pressures. They also know the child’s cultural environment and the level of standard of living and therefore are able to communicate in such way that has permanent benefit and joy for both parties.
