How does child sponsorship work?

Your tax deductible sponsorship of $25 per month (paid annually, biannually, quarterly or monthly) will enable The Salvation Army to provide a child in a developing country with direct assistance for education and general care. The funds are sent to the local Salvation Army Headquarters which monitors the needs of each child and their situation.

How are children’s needs determined?

We assist children in the full-time care of The Salvation Army or attending Salvation Army schools and day care centres who:

• Have parents who are poverty-stricken, low-income, unemployed and/ or single
• Are female and have been rejected because of their gender
• Suffer physical disabilities, often as a result of disease
• Experience any combination of the above factors.

Some children are able to continue with further education and, with sponsor consent, these students can be supported up to 22 years of age if they do well academically. On completion of studies they remain in Salvation Army care until suitable employment and accommodation is found. Many have no home or have been rejected by family because of gender.

The "Individual Child Sponsorship" program operates in the following countries:

ASIA: Indonesia, Pakistan, Myanmar(Burma), Philippines, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, India, Singapore, Malaysia
