About Plan Child Sponsorship

  • In the countries where Plan work, one out of five children die before the age of five, and the ones who survive often go hungry and have little chance of ever learning to read and write.
  • Plan works with children, their parents, and their community, to plan practical ways to provide many of the things we take for granted in the UK, so that together they build schools, drill wells, get nurses trained and help families to better support themselves.

Child Sponsorship - Additional Information

Included in the welcome pack detailed above you will also get details of the sponsored child's family and community, so you can get a wider sense of their situation. This profile will also let you see the types of projects you are funding around the world and illustrate how Plan helps empower communities to meet the needs of all children.

You can also arrange with to visit your sponsored child's community to see first-hand the projects sponsors have helped to fund.

In the world's poorest countries, millions of children live in desperate need of the very things they should be able to take for granted - food, medicine, education and safe drinking water.

Without these basics, they are denied the chance they need to ever realise their potential. In some of the countries where Plan works, 1 in 5 children die before they even reach their fifth birthday. Those who survive can go hungry and have no chance of ever learning to read and write.

If you sponsor a child with Plan, you can change this.

Your Sponsorship Can Help

Your sponsorship can give children the opportunities they need to make the most of themselves - starting with the basics. Over time these children can become healthy and educated young people with the power to transform their communities.
