Does Sponsorship really work?

Yes, it does! The vast majority of our sponsored children finish primary school and many go on to higher education. In the process, you as a sponsor are extremely important! With your gift you are not only giving material support, you show that you care, this caring increases the children's self-esteem tremendously. The children and their parents get hope that we can change a seemingly hopeless situation.

You can read about some former sponsored children who now live a completely different lives than they would have; without sponsor support.

Here you can find the big list of questions and answers.
