How does it work?
When we receive a donation designated as a gift for a sponsored child, we will contact the program director in your child’s area.
The program director will then discuss with the child and/or the child’s family about what type of gift is needed based on the donation amount. Maybe your child’s greatest need is for new shoes, extra staple goods for the family’s table, a pair of chickens, or a Bible.
Once a gift is chosen, the program director or another field worker will purchase their gift and report back to our team in the US.
Finally, your child will write you a letter thanking you for the gift! If you do not receive a letter within six months of sending your gift donation, please contact us. We will contact our country office for more information.
