Sponsor a Child

Will you make a promise to change the life of a child who desperately needs your help?

For just £20 per month, you can sponsor a child in HOPE’s care and make a lasting and positive difference to their future.

Your sponsorship will provide education, medical care and nutrition. We provide books materials, uniforms and fees to ensure that each child stays in school to progress their learning. HOPE supports each child to complete their education.

HOPE believes that education is the key to making lasting change within the poorest communities. Education can affect societal attitudes in a positive way. It enables children to grow into adults who have the potential for employment and self sufficiency for them and their families.

HOPE urgently needs your help to do this.

Each child has only one sponsor. 100% of your donation goes towards the education, nutritional and healthcare needs of your sponsored child. No overheads or other expenses are taken from your monthly donation of £20.

If you decide child sponsorship is something you would like to do, HOPE will assign a particular child to you. Please inform us if you would like to support a child of a particular age and / or gender and we will do our best to facilitate this.

We will update you on the child’s progress in school, and will send you reports, letters and artwork from the child as relevant/appropriate.

Thank you!

We hope you can consider changing a child’s life today.

“After visiting Kolkata for the first time the thing that struck me the most was seeing the poverty and the hardship – adults and children living in the street and in the slums. It was at this point that I realised I wanted to do something to help. I spotted some volunteers from The Hope Foundation in their HOPE t-shirts at Kolkata airport. I spoke to some of them about their experience with HOPE and the work that they do. After hearing some of the stories I decided that I wanted to also do something to help with this organisation. Upon my return to the UK I made contact and have now sponsored a child. This is one of the most rewarding things I have ever done. It makes it all so worthwhile knowing that you are giving a child the opportunity to have a good education and giving them a way to work themselves out of poverty. Over one year later I travelled back to Kolkata and met the child that I sponsor. It was absolutely amazing to see the child of whose life I am able to change just by sponsoring him. It was such a positive experience to see the excellent work that HOPE do. I would say that child sponsorship is one of the most rewarding and satisfying things that you can do. To see the difference you can make simply by sponsoring a child so that they can receive things that we take for granted is such a good feeling and I would highly recommend doing so.” – Wayne, HOPE UK Child Sponsor
