Our programs create sustainable, long-term change to break poverty cycles and make lasting impact in communities. Your support enables children to thrive through providing vital assistance such as daily nutritious meals, routine medical check-ups, hygiene kits, education, school supplies, bathroom reconstruction, and parental involvement in income generation programs.
Build a Connection with Your Sponsored Child
Once you are paired with a child in our program, you will be able to track their progress and receive annual letters from the children! By coordinating with us, sponsors can also write and receive letters, and send additional gifts to the child for special occasions.

Stories from Former Sponsored Children
I would not have been able to be here today without my sponsor and the support of Good Neighbours. It is now my turn to help children in need. I want to become a sponsor and make a difference in someone else's life.
I experienced so much positive change in my family and community. I dreamt of becoming someone who could provide the invaluable support that of Good Neighbours to those in need. Eight years later, here I am now: a member of Good Neighbors Bangladesh.
When I joined the child sponsorship program, school needs were provided, and it lessened my grandmother’s financial burden. I felt more enthusiastic about learning both at school and at home.
Every year I received several school supplies and foodstuffs that really helped me in my development from childhood to adolescence. Now, I've got my A-levels and I'm at university, all thanks to the support of Good Neighbours.
