Q. What is sponsorship?

A. Child sponsorship establishes a relationship between individual donors and sponsored children. Sponsors provide a monthly gift, which is used to help provide benefits for their sponsored children.
CWH has chosen sponsorship as our means for helping needy children because we’ve found that pairing one child with one sponsor is the most effective way to receive consistent gifts from our donors...and therefore provide stable, ongoing benefits and services to the children.

Q. How much does it cost to sponsor a child

A. Just $85 a month. We’ve found ways to keep costs down without cutting into the care you help provide your child.

Q. How can sponsors provide so much for $22 a month

A. Children International looks for ways to keep costs down without sacrificing the care each child receives:

1. We hire local professionals to work in our Home because it’s not only less expensive, but we feel the citizens in these countries are best equipped to understand and meet the needs of sponsored children and their families.
2. We use trained volunteers to help us carry out program activities – many of whom are the parents and relatives of sponsored children.
3. We purchase items for the children such as food, clothing and school supplies in bulk quantities in the area where we work – to save money and help the local economies.

Q. How do you ensure that the funds you receive are spent as your sponsors intend?

A. Financial accountability is a matter of paramount importance at CWH. Our orphanage has been established through stringent accounting and financial reporting procedures to ensure that the funds are properly used.
