RecommendedI have been sponsoring children for approx. 15 years. Started with one child and over the years sponsored more. At the moment I have three. Recently I managed to find my first child, now a young woman, on Facebook. I wrote asking if she really got all the help she needed from Children International and that the sponsorship does make a difference.. Her response warmed my heart. Her gratitude genuine. I feel like I won the lottery! Am so happy that my little contribution has made a difference in her life. Keep up the good work... read more
Business response:
Simone, thank you for your dedicated support of sponsored children in need over the last 15 years! Supporters like you make our mission to end child poverty possible around the world. We're so touched to hear about your connection with your sponsored child from the past and would love to hear more!
MY CURRENT FUNDRAISING: BECAUSE IT IS EXTREMELY REWARDING, FOR OVER 20 YEARS I HAVE SPONSORED CHILDREN THRU THIS INCREDIBLE AGENCY! WHEN I VISITED MY CHILD ON 2 DIFFERENT TRIPS, THEY SENT ALONG A SOCIAL WORKER & AN INTERPRETER IF NEEDED. THEY DOCUMENT EVERY GIFT/VISIT WITH PHOTOS; AS SOON AS I WAS HOME, I RECEIVED AWESOME PHOTOS OF MYSELF WITH MY CHILD, AT HER HOME! I STILL HAVE ANOTHER CHILD TO VISIT!
This is an amazing organization -- taking a data-driven, proven approach to solving poverty, and changing lives for kids who have really tough childhoods and uncertain futures. Their staff members (both those in KC and around the world) are awesome, caring, smart people.
CI is very well organized and best of all 90% of your money goes directly to the program.

I have sponsored 2 young ladies who mysteriously disappeared when they neared the end of the program, and they auto assigned me a child. I can see 1 child disappearing family and all, not really, but 2???? I dont like it at all. These two I sponsored by choice. housing in Kolkata is at a premium so having an entire family disappear after 10 years, without a trace? My other sponsee lived rurally in the Phillipines. 6 person family vanished without a trace? Really? Don't mess with me.
Business response:
Linda, We're so sorry you've had not one but two children move. It is difficult to understand and it hurts us almost as much to have children leave our program. We find it helps to keep in mind is that our families live in stressful environments that can put them under circumstances where they have to make difficult and quick decisions for the well-being of their family. We did confirm in 2015, your child's family in the Philippines re-located to another city where we don't have a community center. Also, more details have be... read more
