Your sponsorship contribution is used to meet expenses such as food, clothing, school fees, medical care for the child and the salary of the SOS mothers.
When sponsoring a child, you will receive;
 |
| sponsorship package |
- a letter of welcome,
- the life history and a photograph of your sponsored child, and
- a detailed description of the country where the SOS Children's Village is situated and of the SOS Children's Village itself.
Twice a year, you will receive an update;
- in the summer a progress report on your sponsored child informing you about the latest developments in your sponsored child's life.
- and in the winter SOS Village report, including a recent photo of your sponsored child.
The child is usually chosen from an SOS Children's Village where the need is greatest however, should you have special requests concerning continent, country, SOS Children's Village, language, gender, age, etc. of the child, we will try to meet these requests if possible.
We protect the privacy of the children in our care
We do not and request sponsors do not make public an individual child's need for help.
This is why you will not see children's photos, real names, and locations listed on our website. Where we have photos of children, we have changed their names and/or villages.
Privacy and respect, important for both children and sponsors.
