Search for a child to sponsor with certain characteristics. When sponsoring a child you can search by gender,  age, course and sponsor budget and whether the child has special needs or is an orphan. The photographs and biographies of children who have those characteristics will be displayed.

Allow us to choose the child for you. Submit a request for us to choose either the child who has been waiting the longest or a child with certain characteristics.

When you sponsor a child in this manner, you will not see your child's information displayed on our web site. Instead, the child's information will be mailed to you. You'll receive your child's photo, personal story and a complete child sponsorship packet by mail in approximately 15 days.

You can also call us, send us a letter or e-mail HelpAChild to discuss sponsoring a child in need.
