Questions About Child Sponsorship
How long do I sponsor a child?
The child you sponsor will remain in the program as long as they remain in school and in the community. Your monthly donation helps to provide for that child during that month. Children in the child sponsorship program are between the ages of 4 and 16. When the child’s leaves the affiliated program, you will have the option for your support to continue inspiring change for another child who has been awaiting sponsorship.
Can I visit the child?
There are some areas where a visit would be possible, however most of the areas in which we work are restricted nations. In most cases in-person visitation opportunities will not be possible. It may be possible to have a ‘virtual visit’ in these areas.
How does One Spark Int’l select the communities?
Communities are selected based on greatest need and the willingness of the community to participate in their own development. One Spark Int’l is intentional about seeking out some of the world’s hardest places, and those who have little to no access to the Gospel.
How often will I hear about the child?
Once you have sponsored a child, you will receive a welcome package that includes information about the child, a letter from our founders, and a video that will acquaint you with sponsorship. Throughout the year, you will also receive updates, prayer and praise requests from the area your sponsored child lives, activities, and a Christmas card from your sponsored child.
Can I send gifts to my child?
This will depend on the location of your sponsored child. You can contact us directly for more information on your sponsored child.
Does the money go directly to the child/family?
No. Your child sponsorship payments are leveraged with the donations of other sponsors to make your sponsored child’s English program successful. One Spark Int’l works with established churches, leaders and families to develop transformational solutions to the community’s biggest obstacles. One Spark Int’l programs equip your sponsored child’s program to adequately provide for their English education needs.
What does the $25 a month provide for the child?
Your sponsored child will have two hours a week of English classes, as well as all of the supplies necessary for their classes (pens, pencils, books, notebooks, and miscellaneous class supplies). If transportation to and from classes is required, that will also be provided, as well as snacks during classes in some areas.
Is this a real child/how many sponsors does each child have?
Child sponsorship is a one-to-one relationship. One Spark Int’l connects a single child with a single sponsor. As long as you continue your monthly sponsorship, no one else will sponsor that child.
Can I have communication with my child?
Depending on the location of your sponsored child, you may or may not be able to have consistent communication with your child. You can contact us directly for more information when you are assigned your child.
