Child Sponsorship

Sponsor a child through GFA World.

Your sponsorship provides help and hope that transforms entire communities

Your child is the priority. Through our community development approach, you show him or her the love of Jesus Christ by meeting practical needs. You help provide solutions like basic health care, food, clean water and educational and community service opportunities.

After choosing a child to sponsor, you’ll receive a welcome packet with information about your chosen child, and you’ll be given access to an online portal where you can send pictures, letters, notes and love to your child.

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

HELP CHANGE THE WORLD

Our child sponsorship program is present in Asia and Africa. Given the great needs in these countries, we focus on unserved communities, going where others have not gone.

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 about 76p per day. 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.

GFA World Child Sponsorship connects you with one special child, but your monthly gift helps support all GFA World supported children anywhere in the world. Instead of going directly to help just one child, your sponsorship is combined with others to make sure every child receives the support they need — even those still waiting for a personal sponsor.

Your gift will help provide children in desperate need with basic necessities that can help them reach their God-given potential, like access to education, clean water, nutrition, healthcare, and economic opportunities for their families and 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.

Belicia, whose daughter Primia and their whole family were helped with medical care, education, and loving support from GFA’s national workers
