Right now, children around the world are living in extreme poverty — but you can help.
When you sponsor a child, you provide life-changing essentials like clean water, nutritious food, education, and healthcare — not just for one child, but for their whole community. It’s support that lasts and empowers communities to build a better, more self-sufficient future.
Your monthly gift means a child doesn’t just survive — they have the chance to thrive. To dream. To grow. To break the cycle of poverty for good.
Sponsor a child today — and help rewrite their story.
Help save a child from hunger
Children are suffering through one of the worst and most complex hunger crises in living memory. Your gift to rush life-saving food aid to malnourished kids will multiply x12.
Be chosen as a Child Sponsor
Let a child choose you as their sponsor. This life-changing impact starts when you sign up today. Your photo will then be sent to a Child Sponsorship community where you will be chosen.
Help children in the Middle East crisis
You can rush life-saving food, health care access, education kits and more to children who are traumatised and fleeing conflict in Lebanon, the West Bank and other dangerous places.
Become a Childhood Rescue supporter
Help the world's most vulnerable children to survive, recover and build a future. You can provide life-saving essentials to kids whose lives are on the line. Every $1 you give provides $6 of support.
Help families survive Ebola
An outbreak of the Ebola virus has emerged and it’s children whose lives are most at risk. With no vaccine for this new and rare variant, the time to act to protect kids is now.
Include a gift in your Will
A gift in your Will can make a significant difference, no matter how large or small and is a wonderfully generous way to ensure the values which are important to you live on.
