How Sponsorship Works
You'll be allocated a named child and receive an outline of their life, achievements, and family details so far.
You'll receive a video message and photo of your sponsored child.
Your contribution covers the child's living costs, education, and additional project programs in their area.
You'll receive annual updates on your sponsored child's welfare and achievements.
If you plan to visit Uganda, it's possible to meet your sponsored child, subject to our child protection policies.
Sponsorship Options
Set up recurring monthly support for ongoing, consistent coverage.
Make a single one-time annual contribution instead — you can choose either option at checkout.
We encourage long-term sponsorship to give a child consistent support throughout their education, but we appreciate any level of commitment you can offer.
Our Commitment to Transparency
- All children in our programs benefit from sponsorship contributions.
- Regular updates are provided to sponsors about their sponsored child and our overall programs.
- We maintain strict child protection policies to ensure the safety and privacy of every child in our programs.
