Sponsor a Centre

 

You can choose to become a ‘Discretionary Sponsor’ and support an entire institution, rather that an individual child.

By sponsoring an institution, all children attending are guaranteed to receive education, materials and one nutritious meal a day, even if they are not sponsored individually because of their age.

How does discretionary sponsorship work?

Your tax deductible sponsorship of $25 per month (paid annually, biannually, quarterly or monthly) will benefit every child in an institution (usually a children's home, school or day care centre). Discretionary sponsors receive a yearly newsletter from the institution giving information on events and the activities of the children.

Where can you sponsor a centre?

The tables below show our list of institutions per country. There is further information on some of the institutions, click on the names as you find the links.
