Child Sponsorship

Sponsoring a child helps them envision a future beyond poverty.

Why Sponsor?

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

From Sponsored Child to Medical Student

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.

Continuing the Cycle of Good Neighbours

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.

Sponsored Child Inspired to Higher Education

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.

Helping Children Achieve Their Best

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.

Bringing Hope Beyond Sponsorship

Had not been supported by the project, I would had been stayed with my parents as a farmer. But thanks to the project support, I had joined University and successfully graduated. Now it is my turn to pay back for my community.

How does child sponsorship work?

Child sponsorship allows you to transform not only the life of a child, but an entire community. We encourage sustainability and independence, so contributions also go to community-focused solutions and creating income-generating opportunities for families. Once you are matched with a child, you will receive a welcome letter with their information and annual progress reports, and you can send them letters at any time and your child will reply to you!

Where will my money go?

We ensure transparency regarding the allocation of your donation. Approximately $29.05 of your $35 monthly contribution directly supports your sponsored child, their family, and community. You’ll receive regular updates and photos showcasing the tangible impact of your support on your sponsored child’s growth and well-being.

Are my donations eligible for tax receipts?

Yes, tax receipts will be shared in a consolidated format at the end of each tax year for your convenience. Throughout the duration of your support, if your legal name or mailing address changes, please get in touch with the Good Neighbours Canada team to make sure that we include the correct details on your tax receipt.

Are you an existing child sponsor? Do you want to reach out to your sponsored child?

Aside from our annual update letters, existing child sponsors can send personalized messages, pictures, and extra gift money to their sponsored child. Good Neighbours Canada will coordinate with the respective local teams to make sure the child receives the messages. Sponsors get the chance to develop stronger connections with their child, and there is even the possibility that the child will send a reply back!
