Please don’t try to find your sponsored child online—please use Compassion’s channels to communicate with your sponsored child. This helps to ensure that your privacy is protected—and your sponsored child is as safe as they can be.

Please don’t respond to requests for connections or “friend requests” if your sponsored child or their family finds you on social media. If this happens, please let us know and we will ask local staff to work with the child and their family to ensure they understand our communication guidelines.

These simple steps will help to protect you both from the risk of your information and communication falling into the wrong hands.
