STEP 1

Determine what is Important to You

The first step in how to sponsor a child is to decide what is important to you and what you value, because there are many child sponsorship organizations helping fight child poverty, and each organization has areas it focuses on and excels in.

STEP 2

Research Your Options/Organizations

Once you’ve determined what’s important to you, it’s time to find the organization that best matches your values and priorities.

STEP 3

Sponsor a Child through the Website

Once you determine which charity you want to sponsor a child with, look on the charity’s website to find the navigation link or tab that says “Sponsor a Child.” It usually will be quite prominent.

Clicking on the link will take you to a page where you can view the children waiting to be sponsored.

STEP 4

Write Letters. Regularly.

The last step of how to sponsor a child goes beyond the basic question of simply how to select a child to sponsor. This step extends the answer to address another aspect of the question — what is involved with sponsoring a child.

The answer is simple. Participate. Engaged and active sponsors help children flourish. And letter writing is the primary activity sponsors use to engage with their sponsored children.
