Child Sponsorship FAQ
Hand in Hand – Frequently Asked Question
Your Questions, Answered with Heart
Everything You Want to Know, Honestly Answered
Sponsoring a child is a beautiful decision — but it's natural to have questions. From how it works to how it helps, this page answers the most common doubts and details so you can feel confident, informed, and connected. Whether you’re just exploring or already part of our Hand in Hand family, we’re here to walk with you — every step of the way.
Child sponsorship is a personal, one-to-one relationship that connects a donor like you to a child living in vulnerable conditions. Your monthly gift helps provide access to education, nutrition, healthcare, and emotional support through our local partners. Sponsorship not only supports the child's immediate needs but also nurtures long-term development and dignity.
Typically, a child remains in the sponsorship program until they reach 18 or complete their secondary education. However, this may vary depending on the child’s local schooling system and personal circumstances. You may also continue to support the same child through college or vocational training if our programs in that area allow.
Life circumstances change, and we understand that. If you're no longer able to continue sponsorship, we will immediately begin finding a new sponsor for the child to ensure their support doesn’t lapse. Our team will ensure that the child receives continued care during this transition.
Your sponsorship provides vital support including:Nutritious meals and supplementsEducation support (tuition, books, uniforms)Medical checkups and preventive careLife skills and emotional counselingMentorship and safe community programsWe work with local teams who understand the unique needs of the child’s community to ensure your gift has a real impact.
