Child Sponsorship
Our One-to-One Child Sponsorship scheme pairs you with a child and their family in Ethiopia.
Through your support of just £20 a month, we are able to provide food parcels, clothes and a quality education to your sponsor child, which allows them to thrive within their family unit. Each Sponsor Child is only paired with one Sponsor, and we try to provide regular contact between Sponsor Children and their Sponsors one-two times a year.

Why Sponsor a Child?
The Start of the Journey
Each Street Kid begins their journey with a stay in our “Tesfa Manoriya Bota” Assessment Centre, where we spend time tracing a child’s family and assessing if reunification is the best option.
We always seek to place children back with their families, as this is the best environment for a child to thrive. Many of the children we rescue from the Streets can be reunited with either their immediate or extended family.
If reunification is not possible, the child will be placed in one of our Group Homes.
A Sad Reality of Separation
Most families do not want to be separated from their child, but due to circumstances they must send them away, resulting on the child being on the Streets. They simply cannot afford to feed them, so the child is forced to leave home to make their own way.
Despite reuniting families, we know that without intervention, many of these children will end up back on the Streets. This is where our Child Sponsorship programme steps in. Through the support of a Sponsor, we can provide supplementary food parcels, clothing and education for the child, lessening the financial pressure the family faces.
Changing Lives for Good
Education is key to helping families break the cycle of poverty. We ensure that each of the children in our Sponsorship programme have access to education at the Hope365 Academy. The supplicational support you give their family means they won’t have to skip school to work for extra income.
A quality education will open doors for your child, giving them better job opportunities when they leave school.
Your sponsorship will truly give your child the best foundation in life.
A Personal Relationship
We pair individual Sponsors with individual Children and their families, meaning you have a very real and meaningful relationship with your Sponsor Child.
We try to facilitate communication with your child every six months. This can be in the form of a photograph, a drawing or even a video of them at school! We also encourage you to send letters or photographs of yourself so your child knows what you look like.
We can even offer the opportunity to meet your child by joining a Transform Team.
