SUPPORT A CHILD IMPACT GENERATIONS

We’re committed to protecting the safety, privacy and dignity of the children and young people in our programs. Children are especially vulnerable, and we take the responsibility to protect them from harm seriously. Protecting a child’s identity (with our yellow heart ‘sticker’) online or on printed materials available at public events keeps them safe. Also, when a child’s appearance doesn’t play a role in the promotion process, it’s a more dignified way of establishing a relationship between a Sponsor and a child. Across our child and youth programming, our Partners operate at the highest standards of child protection and child safeguarding policies and procedures.

We don’t! The communities themselves select children as representatives of the program. These children become leaders in their community and play an important role in communicating the changes that are happening. Each child is linked with only one child sponsor.

A child doesn’t have to be sponsored to be part of the program. And sponsored children do not receive special treatment. Rather, our project activities are designed to address the root causes of child poverty, working with the entire community. This approach means that the community becomes a better place for all children, not just those who are sponsored.

The program is offered with a “no strings attached” policy. This means that communities can be part of the program regardless of race, politics or religion and there are no conditions placed on the community to conform to any culture, politics or religion.

VERY EFFECTIVE! Your generous sponsorship supports development work that will not only benefit your sponsored child… but also their friends, family, and whole community! And life-skills for children, income generation for families, and safer, flourishing communities translate to lasting change for generations to come.

But you don’t have to take our word for it alone . . . Hasri is a girl from one of our project communities in Nepal who fell in love with going to school through the Sponsorship program. Read her story here.

Children are especially vulnerable, and we take the responsibility to protect them from harm seriously. Protecting a child’s identity online or on printed materials available at public events keeps them safe, and with a child’s appearance no longer playing a role, it is a more dignified way of establishing a relationship between a Sponsor and a child.

Baptist World Aid has been elevating the rights of children since 1974.

Our unique partnership approach means we work through skilled local Christian Partners best placed to address the needs of their communities in Uganda, Malawi, Cambodia, Nepal and Bangladesh.

Your Sponsorship funds programs that support children and youth to learn more effectively at school as well as learn about leadership, child rights, nutrition, hygiene and more in our Partners’ Child and Youth Clubs. Children lead and co-design these initiatives.

Sponsors also support families and communities as they take part in learning how to create lasting change–joining in programs for income generation, agricultural skills training, and child rights education.

When you become a Sponsor, you’re helping support a ripple of inter-generational transformation that can end poverty.
