Sponsor a Child

Monthly Child Sponsorship

Frequently Asked Questions

• How much does sponsorship cost?

  FAIR is asking each sponsor for a basic contribution of $35 per month to help provide a child with access to education, nutritious food, healthcare, and more. Each sponsor becomes part of a team looking after the needs of a specific child within that program. This tax-deductible monthly donation can also be increased, should you decide to provide greater support.

• Will my sponsorship contributions go directly to one child?

  In order to ensure that each child benefits equally, each program has its own pooled fund into which all donations go.

• How are children chosen for sponsorship?

  Each program is unique. Two are residential programs that receive vulnerable children and three are non-residential helping poor and refugee families meet the educational, physical, and spiritual needs of their children. As long as there are resources, both human and financial, no child is turned away.

• How can I track my sponsored child’s progress?

  Sponsors will be provided with contact information for sending letters/photos to "their" child. Volunteers and program managers will ensure that twice yearly an exchange of letters and photos will occur.

• Can I see a picture of the child I’m sponsoring?

  Where possible sponsors will receive a recent photo of the child they are sponsoring along with the name of the child, personal information, and prayer requests.

• Are there any security issues involved in sponsoring a child?

  We ask that sponsors do NOT post photos of the child they are sponsoring along with the name or location of that child on any social media platforms for the safety of the child.
