Visit your sponsored child

If letters are no longer enough, consider jumping on a plane and visiting your sponsor child face-to-face! Visiting your sponsored child is an amazing opportunity for them to share their life with you, and for you to gain a deeper understanding of their unique community and culture.

Because we believe in using every possible dollar towards our child development programs, we cannot cover the costs of your visit and ask that you cover the actual visit expenses on the day of your visit, as well as contribute to the administration expenses our field staff will incur in facilitating your visit.

It will take us two months to make all the necessary arrangements for your visit, so please let us know when you plan to travel as soon as possible. We also ask that you supply us with the following before you begin your journey:

• A Visit Request Form
• A signed copy of the Visit Agreement Form for each traveller aged 18 and over
• A non-refundable fee of $100 for every field country you intend to visit
• A copy of a current Police Check, a Working with Children Card or a Blue Card for each traveller aged 18 and over.
