Frequently Asked Sponsorship Questions at Saint Ann Foundation
Why should I sponsor a child through Saint Ann Foundation?
Because together, we can make a real difference! If you’re considering sponsorship, you already want to help change lives. Sponsorship makes it possible for you to give vulnerable children fuller lives and better futures. You’ll see the transformation for yourself through regular updates while you build an enjoyable personal connection with a child who needs you
What makes Saint Ann Foundation’s approach unique?
We approach things differently, focusing on initiating change from the outside in. Forming long-term partnerships with everyone who impacts a child’s life, whether it be members of their family, community, nation, the wider world, or generous sponsors like you. We also transform a child’s world using an inside-out approach—empowering children at the grassroots level to be active participants and change makers in their own lives. This unique two-pronged approach has been proven to have an effective and long-lasting impact on vulnerable children, whether or not they are directly sponsored.
Will my sponsorship contributions go directly to one child?
Sponsored children do not receive direct cash benefits. While each Saint Ann Foundation Child Sponsor is connected with one child, we make the most of your donations by pooling funds to invest in long-term community development programmes to transform whole areas. By doing this we know that for every child you sponsor, four more children directly benefit too.
What does my sponsorship mean to my sponsored child?
As a sponsor, a child’s hope, happiness, and confidence is in your hands: your help provides a better life and transforms their future in ways they didn’t think possible.
How is my sponsorship donation used?
Your donations are used to meet the greatest needs of your sponsored child’s community. It could be education, performing Arts, nourishing food, better healthcare, shelter or safe water. By donating, you also help keep children safe while getting them ready to participate in shaping their own future.
To effectively combat child vulnerability, it’s important to deal with both symptoms and causes—your support is what enables us to overcome these barriers and help children reach their natural given potential.

How are children chosen for sponsorship?
The families who receive our help are the ones who need it the most. Sponsored children are carefully chosen by people who know them best – local Saint Ann Foundation staff and their own community members. At Saint Ann Foundation respecting the rights of parents is important to us. That’s why parents and caregivers are the only people who are allowed to register a child for sponsorship, and their involvement continues throughout all program participation.

How does Saint Ann Foundation Child Sponsorship work?
First, parents and caregivers in Saint Ann Foundation programme areas register children to be sponsored. Then Saint Ann Foundation connects you with a child who needs your help. As that child’s only sponsor, you will have many opportunities to build a relationship with them.
Your monthly donations become part of a powerful collective fund capable of permanently transforming your sponsored child’s community into a place that offers them the future they deserve.
