Child sponsorship helps a child in need. When you sponsor a child, you help provide essentials like clean water, nutrition, education, and more while you connect through letters and photos. All with the goal of helping your sponsored child and their community break free from poverty for good.
Sponsoring a child is the most personal, effective way to fight poverty. When you sponsor a child in need, you build a special relationship that encourages your child with hope for the future. Plus, your donations join forces with other sponsors to lift your child and children in the community out of poverty for good.
Sponsoring a child through Destitute India is unique because we look at all the things that prevent children from surviving and thriving in their community. Then we work with each sponsorship community to bring all the pieces of the puzzle together to build a better future for all children.
You can exchange letters and photos, and even visit your sponsored child, but we don’t just give sponsored children cash every month. Instead, we pool monthly sponsorship donations and leverage them for maximum impact. We call this our community development approach.
Depending on the needs of your sponsored child’s community, things like clean water systems, improved schools, health clinics, farming co-ops, pastor training, and community savings groups create a vibrant, sustainable future for every child. And since 95 percent of our staff work in their local regions, they know the culture and can help create tailored solutions for every community.
Child sponsorship with Destitute India costs 1200 per month or 14400 per year and it has a huge multiplier effect. We stretch your money as far as possible to help lift both your child and their entire community out of poverty. In fact, for every child sponsored, 4 other children in the community are helped!
12% of the donations we raise are spent to strengthen the support systems at various levels that help us in monitoring and evaluation these initiatives and 7% of the funds we raise are used up in activities that help us to mobilise resources that can guarantee a long term support to such initiatives.
