Being a Plan sponsor is quite simply unique. Over time, you’ll watch your sponsored child grow and see how your support is helping to transform their life and the lives of those around them.
You’ll actually see the difference you are making, through the eyes of the child you sponsor in letters, photos and reports.
See the impact you're helping to make
As soon as you start sponsoring you’ll get a welcome pack, with photos and a profile of the child you’re sponsoring. You can write to your sponsored child right away if you want to, and the pack will explain exactly how sponsorship works.
Each year you’ll also get an update on the progress your sponsored child and their community is making. This will include a recent photograph, so you can see for yourself how your sponsored child is growing and developing with your support.
What’s more, you’ll receive regular editions of our supporters’ magazine World Family crammed with news of Plan’s work around the world and other sponsors’ experiences.
And your support could mean even more. A few lines from a sponsor, or just knowing that someone miles away cares, can really help fuel a child’s imagination and ambition.
We regularly hear wonderful stories of ex-sponsored children and how they were encouraged to study hard at school by their sponsor and how they’ve gone on to become doctors, teachers and midwives.
