Child Sponsorship Support Resources

Yes! Children love to receive letters from their sponsors, so we encourage you to write as often as you like. Compassion facilitates the exchange of letters, photos and gifts between sponsors and children.

Writing letters to your sponsored child is simple using My Account. Log into your account and then select “Write My Child” from the sidebar. Here, you can draft letters, access past letters and more.

You can send a monetary gift to your child by logging into My Account. Compassion will then use those funds to purchase a special gift based on your child’s needs. You can also send photos by using the letter writing features inside your account.

Currently, sponsor visits are paused as we rebuild our trips and visits team after the pandemic. Visit our trips and visits page for updates.

You can’t give more than $1,100 a year to your sponsored child’s family. The minimum individual family gift should be at least $25. We restrict gift amounts to avoid creating opportunities for dependence and to avoid fostering jealousy within the community, which could place a child and their family at risk.
