The first thing you’ll receive when you become a sponsor is a welcome pack which contains information and pictures of the child you are sponsoring.
Alongside this will be details of their family and community, so you can get a wider sense of their situation. This profile will also let you see the types of projects you are funding around the world and illustrates how Plan helps empower communities to meet the needs of all children.(click sample images to enlarge)
When you first sponsor, you will receive a note, letter or drawing. This will either be from the child you sponsor or from someone writing on their behalf if they are unable or are too young. You can then choose to correspond with your sponsored child; this connection can be very rewarding.
You will also receive two editions of our magazine World Family every year. This contains articles on Plan-supported work, sponsors’ experiences and updates from around the world.
Some sponsors arrange with us to visit their sponsored child’s community to see first-hand the projects sponsors have helped to fund.*
