Child Sponsorship
By giving to this category, you can give a remote community the chance to support their young people and make the impossible possible.
Donate to the Unsponsored Children's Fund
Millions of children in Asia and Africa grow up with little to no education and extreme poverty prevents parents from being able to send their children to school. Giving towards our work with children helps free them from that! Supporting them and their whole community with healthcare, food, clean water and education helps show them the love of Jesus Christ.
Changing a child’s life for the better
Take a minute to think back to your childhood – do you remember your parents dropping you off a school? Or maybe you remember your mum making you a Sunday roast or your dad taking you to the Doctor. Imagine being able to give all of that to a child who’s never experienced it before!
Some children don’t have access to education or clean water or healthy food or healthcare and you can be a part of transforming their lives and showing them Jesus.
Your gift can help provide a child and their community with:
- Food
- Clean water
- Healthcare and hygiene
- Education
- Recreational activities
- Vocational training for their parents
- Welfare support for the wider family
Changing Lives Eternally
Through our national workers, we have the opportunity to change lives not only here and now, but eternally in Asia and Africa. Did you know that around 80,000 people die every day in the 10/40 Window? Some children may go their whole lives without ever hearing about the love of God. We can make a choice today that will forever change the fate of those who have yet to hear.
How Child Sponsorship works
Our years of experience have shown that the most effective way to help a child is to strengthen the child’s entire community. Each community that we work with faces different challenges and has different needs, so the work we do is unique to each community.
By giving £23 per month to GFA World’s Child Sponsorship Programme, you become a child sponsor. That’s less than £1 per day. GFA World Child Sponsorship connects you with one special child, but unlike in some other programmes, sponsored children don’t receive direct cash benefits. Instead, your monthly donation is pooled for maximum effectiveness.
For every £23 monthly commitment you make, you’ll get the photo and personal information of the child you’ll be sponsoring and praying for. As a sponsor of the Child Sponsorship Programme, you are asked to pray regularly for your child, and you will also be able to write letters to your child if you wish to.
All Child Sponsorship Programme funds are pooled together within an overall global fund that supports all GFA World supported children. Your support of GFA World’s Child Sponsorship Programme can help support GFA World supported children anywhere in the world. You will join with other like-minded sponsors to empower children and their communities to improve their lives in lasting, transformational ways.
Your gift will help provide children in desperate need with the basic necessities that can help them reach their God-given potential. This may mean improving access to resources like education, clean water, better nutrition, basic healthcare, and economic opportunities for their families and the local community.
There are not enough words to thank the help that is lent from [GFA’s national workers]. Today, my daughter is alive just because of the prayer and support from GFA World. I will never be able to forget this great aid.
