Gift a Sponsorship - Children of the Mekong

Sponsoring a child, an educational and helpful gift

Did you know that…. £1 billion worth of toys are unused after Christmas in the UK?

Sponsor a child as a family! Give the chance to a child to go to school rather than working in the fields or on the dumpsite.

Sponsoring a child is an educational and long-lasting gift.
It’s a gift that cannot be consumed but helps in the long term.
It’s a way to raise awareness of how lucky we are to have access to quality education.

It is still a bit abstract for Gaspard, but in 2 to 3 years, when he will be 5 years old, he will realize that he has someone on the other side of the world who is part of his life and who calls him “my little brother”

Sponsor a child now

Sponsorship provides material and moral support to the child, through the exchange of letters and support over time. Your sponsorship lasts as long as your sponsored child goes to school and as long as the family’s economic situation justifies it.

We understand that certain situations may oblige you to interrupt your sponsorship. In this case, we ask you to inform us early enough so that we have time to find a sponsor for your sponsored child.

If you would like a one-off contribution rather than a long-term commitment, please choose to make a donation.

The exchange of letters allows you to create a lasting relationship with your sponsored child. Your sponsored child will probably have only one person from whom they will receive letters, and it’s you. The letter helps them understand who you are, and develops trust. Our local programme managers and overseas volunteers are constantly reminding us how important it is for a sponsored child to receive letters from their sponsor!

When you gift a sponsorship, your loved one will write the letters, send photos or postcards. Whatever the size of the letter, be sure it will make your sponsored child happy and proud!

The sponsorship is £28 per month. 75.7% is sent to Asia, rest is used for the core costs and emergency response of the charity.

The sponsorship donation is distributed in various ways, depending on the country and the local customs. It covers the school costs of the children (fees, uniforms, stationery, books…) and the daily better off of the families (food, hygienic products…).

If you would like to know in detail how your sponsorship is given to your child, please do contact us.
