Sponsorship changes lives
Growing up in The Salvation Army Children's Home in Mexico, Claudia* shares the difference it has made in her life: "I would be in the street. I wouldn't be where I am now. I would be doing drugs. We wouldn't have had enough money for me to study. In the children's home, I have been given the opportunity to study and to know the word of God."
FAQs
1. What is Child Sponsorship?
We provide holistic care, education and protection to vulnerable children in Salvation Army children's homes, schools, and community centers in low and middle income countries around the world. Your sponsorship is combined with other sponsors' gifts to make the greatest impact for children in need.
2. What does my $25 monthly sponsorship do?
Your sponsorship provides children with food, shelter, medical care, education and spiritual guidance, funding projects that maximize our impact. Your donation will benefit the center of your choice for as long as they are participating in the child sponsorship program, and will meet urgent needs at other centers as they arise.
3. How much of my sponsorship will reach the children?
As a sponsor of a Salvation Army center, you can have peace of mind knowing 95% of your sponsorship will directly benefit the children in our care.
4. How long is a sponsorship commitment?
Sponsorship is an ongoing commitment that ensures continued essential services for children affected by poverty, neglect, and abuse to help centers become more self-sustaining. When centers are better able to meet the critical needs of the children in their care without sponsorship support, your sponsorship will be transitioned to another Salvation Army center experiencing greater need.
5. How do I become a sponsor?
Choose a children's home, school, or community center from our list of centers in need. Send us your first sponsorship payment by checks made payable to The Salvation Army with Sponsorship on the memo line, or simply click "Sponsor A Center" to set up your credit card payments and we will be in touch! Please contact us with any additional questions you might have.
6. What can I expect once I have become a sponsor?
Sponsors will receive annual updates from their sponsored center sharing how their generosity is helping children develop the character, knowledge and skills necessary to reach their full potential. Sponsors are invited to write letters encouraging the children and sharing about themselves as well! All correspondence can be mailed to the Child Sponsorship office.
As a sponsor, you join children on their journey to pursue God's plan for their lives.
