Child sponsorship programs are a type of fundraising in which a non-profit or charitable organization connects sponsors. The sponsor connects with the child through photos and letters, which helps create a personal relationship with the child. The donated funds are not spent only on the sponsored child but mixed with other donations on various things such as education, health, and security.
Studies have shown that sponsorship programs for children fund around USD 3 billion annually. “Save the Children” was the first child sponsorship organization after the 1st world War and was established in 1920. After all, the main objective of sponsorship programs is to provide better facilities to sponsored children.
