How much does it cost to sponsor a child?
The cost of sponsoring a child varies from center to center according to the services provided and the cost of living in that country. The lowest amount is $25 per month, the highest is $30 per month.
How much of my payment will be used for administrative cost?
There is no administrative fee! Commitment money goes directly to meet the child's needs. Administrative costs are paid through undesignated gifts to Our Church's Wider Mission (United Church of Christ) and Christian Mission Fund (Disciples of Christ).
How does my child benefit from the money I provide?
Your support helps provide a child with adequate food, clothing, healthcare and, sometimes, housing. In the case of a school age child, your support may also help to pay school fees or buy uniforms and books.
When do I send my first payment?
Mail your first payment with your application. Payments begin the same month the child is assigned. You may choose one of several pledge options.

What is a short-term sponsorship?
A child is "eligible" for sponsorship until they are 18 years old. Some children in our program come in as teenagers. The older the child the shorter the sponsorship time before aging out of the program.
