Ways To Give - Child Sponsorship

ABOUT SPONSORSHIP

It's easy to become a Child Sponsor:

You choose a boy or girl you want to sponsor.

GRF uses your sponsorship contributions of $24 per month to provide your sponsored child with what he or she needs to grow healthy and thrive—such as education assistance, nourishing meals, clean water, medical care and opportunities to develop and learn.

Your monthly gifts will be combined with those of other sponsors whose children are enrolled in the same area, so that all the girls and boys will benefit.

Correspond with your child through letters. You're not required to write, but hearing from sponsors is very meaningful to your sponsored children, and can boost their self-esteem.

Regular updates about the child let you monitor his or her progress.

Visits are welcome! If you can make the trip, GRF staff will arrange a visit with your sponsored child.

Better Lives for Children

It is truly amazing how much $24 a month can do for a child in need. You can give a child access to healthy food, safe water and an education. And, when you sponsor a child, GRF uses your monthly sponsorship donations, combined with donations from sponsors of other children in your child’s community, to support community wide programs and facilities that change lives and plant the seeds of self-sufficiency.

Make A Connection with Your Sponsored Child

Write to Your Sponsored Child

Become more involved with your sponsored child through correspondence and receive tips about how to write your sponsored child.

Sponsorship is so much more than an act of charity. Through letters, drawings and photographs, you build a meaningful, personal relationship with one child.

A simple letter is all it takes to put hope in the heart of your sponsored child. Children eagerly look forward to receiving letters and enjoy writing back. Cards, letters and photographs become prized possessions. And, through an exchange of thoughts and ideas, you can stimulate a child's self-esteem and foster a desire for learning.

HOW SPONSORSHIP WORKS

Make A Connection with Your Sponsored Child

As a sponsor, you can build a personal, one-to-one relationship with your sponsored child through letters, and learn about his or her family, community, daily life and hopes for the future. Regular health and progress reports will show you how your sponsorship is improving the child's life. Your correspondence and special gifts give your sponsored child hope, nurturing and confidence. You may even visit your sponsored child and see first-hand the difference your sponsorship contributions are making.

Our Child
