Why Sponsor a Child?
Global Care works in some of the poorest nations in the world, sponsoring some of the most vulnerable children, living in extreme poverty. Despite their desperate circumstances, sponsorship gives these children a bright future. Sponsorship pays for essential healthcare. It provides meals to enable growth and development. It provides uniform for school and the equipment to learn.
But most important of all, sponsorship provides education.
Children born into poverty who can access education are proven to break the poverty cycle and become successful independent adults.¹
Their education can help their whole family escape the poverty trap, often for generations to come.
A community with sponsored children benefits as a whole, gaining the skills and opportunities they need to move forward together.

Throughout their education, you will receive:
A photo of your child, with their profile and family story
A yearly education, health and welfare report for your child
A personal letter or drawing from your child each year
An updated photograph every year
News of progress and challenges from their project and community
You can write to your child, and you may even be able to visit your child and their community!

Where does your money go?
Through your sponsorship gift, your child receives education, clothing and essential materials. Our local children’s worker provides committed welfare and medical support, both at school and in the home.
Accountability is important to us. For every £1 of donated money we spend in the course of a typical year:
93p – Charitable activities – costs of running our projects to support vulnerable children and their communities.
4p – Fundraising – raising funds and building awareness.
3p – Governance – fulfilling our legal requirements as a charity.
These figures reflect the way we spend sponsorship donations. You can see figures related to expenditure for the whole charity on The Engine Room page.

Arlene's Story
*Arlene's story could easily have ended so differently, with the poverty cycle grinding on for another generation. Thank God for child sponsorship, which offers committed support until the vulnerable child is a strong adult.
Studying Under The Stairs
*Micha’s father already had ten children by his first wife, when Micha and her brother were born to his second wife. Massive tension between the two women meant the family home in the slums of Kolkata, India, was a place of quarrels and strife.
A Hand Up Not A Hand Out
The odds were stacked against *Reina, who was born with sickle cell anaemia in a desperately poor family in northern Uganda, and then experienced the trauma of being displaced by rebel insurgents at the age of seven.
