Assisting children and youth in challenging and vulnerable situations throughout the developing world is essential to family, community and national development.

Community and institutional sponsorship can help to end the cycle of poverty through supporting vulnerable children and youth through well-planned holistic ministry. It is vital that each territory assesses the needs of vulnerable children and youth. Planning strategically, funding adequately and protecting all youth are the first steps in ensuring that we faithfully help the children that God has entrusted to our care.

These procedures and guidelines will enable your territory to have an effective and vibrant sponsorship system. Posters are also provided to help you raise finances locally. Please use these resources, and feel free to contact the International Sponsorship Coordinator with any questions or comments.
