What are your
donations for?
Your contribution allows the child to:

attend school
-
obtain school supplies: pencils, notebooks, books, etc.
-
buy a school uniform and other clothing

receive medication as needed
Donations for children or communities are given to them entirely.
The administration fee is used for the transfer of funds to different countries and to pay the costs for correspondence from one party to another and the sending of tax receipts.
CHOICE OF CHILDREN
People in charge in the missions refer the poorest children and those who will benefit most from this financial help. They send photos and information deemed necessary to the Parrainage management office to help the sponsors choose a child.
LOSS OF CONTACT
When steps have been taken to find a child who no longer shows up at school or is not motivated anymore, Parrainage informs you and suggests another child to replace him/her.
CORRESPONDENCE
The person in charge makes sure that godparents receive at least one letter per year.
In the same way, sponsors are encouraged to send their personal photo to the child and to write a short message to give him/her the joy of knowing his/her benefactor.
