You can make a difference

Child sponsorship is a unique and personal way for you to make a difference in the life of a child, family and community.

You'll receive regular updates and can exchange letters with your sponsored child to see the difference you're making.

All it takes is about $1 a day, just $37 a month. Your donation is tax-deductible as a charitable gift.

Words from our sponsors

I went to visit my sponsored child, Ruby in Ghana, Africa. It was by far the most amazing experience I have ever had. The money from sponsors funds so many amazing projects that benefit both sponsored children and the children in their community. It makes more of a difference than you can even imagine!

Former sponsored children accomplish big things in Zimbabwe

 

Plan Zimbabwe held a celebration honouring 25 years of changing lives in that country. Among those in attendance were some of the first children sponsored by Plan in Zimbabwe.

With the help of Plan, they have gone on to become teachers, journalists, accountants, doctors, and more. Some even work, or have worked, for Plan Zimbabwe.
