Child sponsorship
The International Needs Family has supported children through sponsorship for over 40 years
Education is the first step on the route out of poverty, but for so many families around the world, poverty is the barrier keeping children from getting the education they deserve and preventing them from accessing the benefits and opportunities that school provides.
Become a sponsor and give a child the opportunity to go to school and receive nutritious school meals, emergency health care and educational materials and resources.

Sponsorship and education
We see education as a route out of poverty. With education, children can learn essential skills, both academic and practical, to pursue their aspirations and build a better and hopeful future.
Much of our work around the world began with education projects and has grown over the last 40 years to support families in many other ways too. Sponsorship remains a powerful way for an individual to make a significant impact on a child’s future.

How it works
When you sign up to become a child sponsor, you will be put in touch with our International Needs Family Coordinator who will match you with a child in need of your support.
You will then receive a Welcome Pack including a framed photo of your sponsored child, details about your sponsored child and the sponsorship programme as well as an International Needs Family Member pin badge.
You will receive four mailings from your sponsored child each year, and you can write to your sponsored child at any time.
If you have any questions, please contact our IN Family Coordinator at membership@ineeds.org.uk
You can now write to your sponsored child online – we will send your message on to our sponsorship co-ordinators who will deliver it directly to your sponsored child:
