We understand that many supporters would like to be able to buy and send a particular gift for their sponsored child, but unfortunately we can't send parcels overseas (because of possible theft, high customs charges for our country offices and postage costs). Instead, if you give a financial gift, our local centre staff will go shopping, on your behalf, and after consultation with the child and the family, to choose a gift to match your child's needs and cultural sensitivities. Such a gift will bring great joy to your sponsored child and will also help to support the local economy in your sponsored child's community. One hundred per cent of money you give for a child gift is spent on the gift; there is no administration cost taken from child, family or birthday gifts.

You can give a financial gift to your sponsored child through your My Account, or contact us to find out more about gifts.
