How much does it cost to sponsor a child with Plan International Canada?

Child Sponsorship is $42 per month, which works out to be just over $10 per week.

Does this fund only help children?

No. Our emergency relief efforts support entire communities including women and men. We prioritize those who are most at risk, including adolescent girls who are overlooked and excluded from protection in emergencies. We advocate for the unique needs and rights of girls to be part of disaster policies and programs.

What emergency situations will this fund respond to?

The fund will be used to respond as quickly as possible at the onset or worsening of an existing crisis to help save lives and protect children and their families from suffering or losing their right to dignity. Crises can be caused by:

  • extreme weather events, from long-lasting droughts to more immediate hazards like cyclones;
  • conflict or other social or political instability that endangers people or forces them to flee their homes;
  • other environmental or human-made emergencies like explosions or epidemics.

The fund will also help Plan International be proactive and reduce the damaging effects of disasters by, for example, distributing shelter items or other supplies in advance of a forecasted hurricane or other extreme weather.
