What is the required donation for sponsoring a child?    
$20 per month or $60/quarter or $240/year for one child. At this sponsorship level, we are able to meet the ongoing basic needs of the children. Sponsorship donations above and beyond this minimum allow us to meet additional needs of the children including healthcare, education, recreation, shelter, spiritual growth and more.

When will my child start receiving help?                              
If you make your payments monthly, we would receive three consecutive monthly payments before we start giving help to your child. However, if you pay quarterly (three months at once), then that reduces the wait time to no later than one month after after we receive your first three months payment. We also send money to Cameroon quarterly.

How is my Child helped?
We help our children differentially. All our children have different needs. Some need much medical attention, others need little. Some need much assistance with food and clothes, others need less. So we treat each child differently, making sure their needs are met as much as possible.

How long is my sponsorship commitment?
One year commitment that automatically renews annually, unless cancelled.

How often do I send a donation? Child sponsorship donations are due either quarterly or annually. You are welcome to donate monthly.

When are quarterly donation amounts due? March 1st, June 1st, September 1st, and December 1st.                                                  

Will you send me a reminder? We will send you an e-mail approximately 1 week before donations are due.  We may follow the email with a letter in the mail or a phone call. To keep costs down, we encourage sponsors to donate on time so that we don’t have to send mails to them.                                                            

What donation methods are available to me? We encourage sponsors to sign online for automatic monthly deductions.  This helps to ensure that the donations come in on time. It also saves time for our sponsors since they won’t have to worry about mailing checks in every month. To subscribe online, go to the Become a Partner and select the option that is appropriate for you. You can also mail your check or money order to us at the address at the bottom of the page.
