Sponsor a Child in India

Christian Children’s Fund of Canada (CCFC) is dedicated to helping impoverished children in India. Within India’s total population of 1.1 billion, it is estimated that 350 million people are living in absolute poverty.  When you sponsor a child in India, you are helping to break this cycle of poverty and enabling a child to grow healthy and thrive.

Choosing a Child to Sponsor

You can choose a child in India by simply selecting one of the personal profiles on our website.  Each profile includes the child’s photo, age, birthday, favourite subjects, pastimes, as well as what they want to be when they grow up. 

Benefits of Child Sponsorship

Sponsoring a child is a rewarding experience. For only $38 per month, you will bring health and a renewed spirit to a child in Africa, forming a lasting bond with that person.  Your sponsorship gives you the following benefits:

• Information Package
  You will receive information about the child, their family and their country. 
  
  
• Writing to your Sponsored Child
  You can write letters to your sponsored child and they will write back to you. This could be a great opportunity for the children in your own life to correspond with a child in another country.
  
  

• Visiting your Sponsored Child
  You can visit your sponsored child in Africa and observe first hand the difference you have made in their life. Read the story of Hudson Egbert who visited his sponsored child in India in June 2010.

HIV/AIDS in India

In 2009, it was estimated that 2.4 million people in India were living with HIV. Unfortunately, most HIV prevention programs operate in urban areas while nearly 60 percent of the people living with HIV come from rural areas. Through our partners, CCFC teaches prevention and provides treatment in some of the most neglected rural regions of India.

What Does Sponsoring a Child in India Accomplish?

Your monthly donation provides access to food, clothing, shelter, medical care, education and school supplies for the child that you sponsor. The child's family also receives access to food, health care, vocational training, job opportunities and agricultural expertise.  Our aim is to help the community become self-sufficient by starting sustainable projects.  The number of families in India directly impacted by CCFC’s assistance is currently 6,184.

With your help, we can make a difference in the life of an impoverished child.  Sponsor a child in India today to create a positive and permanent change in that child’s life forever.
