Write to your Sponsored Child

We encourage you to keep in touch with your sponsored child. A letter from you will bring them joy and will remind them that someone on the other side of the world cares for them!

Sending your letter by email through this page is a convenient option. However you can still send your hand written letters to our office. If you want you can use our template:
